This piece is lovely, both sonically and in its content. It has a feeling of a CBC or Radio Nederlands sort of piece.......there is an assumption that the listener has an attention span. The pay-off for continuing through the rather odd quotidian entries of a nerdily passionate ornithologist is huge. You become acquainted with two very rare and special birds through the sounds they make while pursuing their exquisite existences in the bush. One is the Coacca (sp?) and one is the man whose life choices are made around finding and documenting its existence.
This piece is perfect if you are interested in changing the Earth Day discourse from the usual degradation/preservation antagonism.
