Transcript:

Two students are on a field trip. Look, isn't that a house finch? Know? I think it's just a little brown sparrow. It seems reddish to me. And its song is like a recording. We heard of a house finch. Professor flynn said we'd probably see a lot of red finches today. Well, maybe you're right. We'd better write it down anyway. But I still say it's too brown to be a house finch. I'll put a question mark by it. We're sure seen enough starling. I didn’t even know they lived in the city. I can remember hearing my cousin complain about how the starling is always ate all the fruit in their orchard. They are kind of pretty though. Don't you think look at all the black is mixed with a little green making their feathers look here a decent.
