Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Maria and Luis are confused by a sign hanging on the doors to Big Bird's nest - "Welcome Woodrow." They see Big Bird down the block, waiting, and ask what's going on. Big Bird explains that he's partaking in a bird exchange program, where birds from all over the nation visit other birds in their native locals. Today, he's hosting a bird named Woodrow making his first trip to the city. Moments later, Woodrow Woodpecker from the forest arrives for his visit. He's confused by Big Bird's mentions of city things like "movies," "buses" and "pizza." He instead wants to fetch dinner the way he does in the forest - pecking at a tree for bugs. He does on on the nearby tree and encourages Big Bird to scavenge as well. Big Bird is less than excited for this.
