And on the mis-use subject, watch the Lonesome Dove series. There's an incessant Whip-poor-will calling at high noon throughout the series.. In the middle of the prairie. Guess they could only afford one playback.
YES, they do add bird sounds to golf broadcast sound tracks - at times they overdo it so it becomes irritating instead of pleasant!
Back some years ago CBS got a call from a birder to let them know that they were contributing to miss information about bird distribution because the songs they inserted were of birds that would not likely be found in the area where that golf tournament was being held!! The only ones I have recognized since then have been appropriate to the area - CBS did listen! J Marie

While watching a NatGeo special about Cheetahs it became obvious they add nature sounds in post production as a bird in the background was definitely an eastern wood-Pewee. Incidentally I read somewhere they add a nature soundtrack to golf broadcasts.

I was flipping the controls one morning and stopped briefly (note the word briefly) on the BBC's Teletubbies being broadcast on Public TV. All of a sudden, a scene in a small well-landscaped park/garden in the UK emerged from a Teletummy (I don't recall the particular Teletubbie; I think it was Tinky Winky). While in the garden, I could hear two European robins (song and call notes), a great tit and blackbird (European version) very clearly. I thought I also hear a blue tit. It was like being there. What a pleasant surprise as it was winter and the woods in Augusta were quiet. Usually when Teletubbies show come on I turn the channel before switching to a scene in the UK. In any event, it is a good source of species for TV bird listers and couch potatoes.

If you keep a TV birdlist, but are not watching the Tour, you missed an amazing side view of a soaring Griffon Vulture photo'd from the camera helicopter today in the Pyrenees. Went on for almost a minute. Very cool!
