Index of Subjects Joan, As for the red bird in the horrible Jaffe film The Scarlet Letter (a massacre of a great novel if there ever was one, despite great Nova Scoian scenery) it seems to me that the "red bird," which the director insisted on having with some difficulty, was a specifes not even found in North America. I seem to recall an article somewhere about the longstanding habit Hollywood films have of going to soundbanks and using in their soundtracks (if not also in their imagery) birds that are in reality in countries or even continents that they never visit in reality. An unique Australian species heard in California, for instance, or an Outer Mongolian species heard in Massachusetts. Always amusing (or annoying) for the ornithologists in he audience who know their bird voices well.
