"It got better as the day went on. During the initial filming, I was like comatose." But Rogers couldn't have found a better guest of any hue.

Ford told the kids about his lifelong interest in studying birds, which began at age 8 or 9, when he saw a small bird he couldn't identify and went to the library to look it up. The show delivered a subtle but effective plug for books, no matter what a child's area of interest. Ford says Rogers' personal interests are many. "The guy speaks fluent French, he's a licensed pilot, he's quite a diverse person." And now he knows a little something about birds, too. Gay talk Just when you thought you'd heard everything on local radio talk shows, Cleveland's WHK (1420-AM) says it will unleash a regular program catering to gays and lesbians.

Buck Harris, billed by the station as a longtime spokesman for area homosexuals, will host Gay Nineties from 9 to 11 p.m. Fridays beginning March 26.

On Friday, the station, in conjunction with Barberton Citizens Hospital, will inform selected listeners live, on the air whether they are pregnant. Presumably, the participants will be chosen from a pool of women who are trying' to get pregnant.

And speaking of reproduction, WQMX News Director Joyce Johnson is "with child" herself.

He has a serious side." That was evident when the cameras started to roll: "We did about eight hours of filming for about eight minutes on the air.

It was pretty intense." It all looked pretty relaxed to the home viewers, who saw Ford and Rogers strolling through the aviary and meeting such new neighbors as mandarin ducks, ruddy ducks, scarlet ibises, flamingos and spoonbills.
