All About Birds says, "The Eastern Wood-Pewee's plaintive song of three sliding notes (pee-a-weeeee) is distinctive and easy to learn. It makes finding these woodland birds fairly straightforward."

Carol remembers getting ready for date nights in the 1950s and 1960s in her latest column. She writes, "When the day came for a date, I kicked things off by washing my hair in the kitchen sink. I had a big bonnet dryer and hair rollers, so I rolled my hair in the morning, and if it wasn't dry by early afternoon, I sat under that portable dryer."
