Birds - Essence of Science

Two sequential field recordings of quite a lot of crows in Seattle, February 2025.  Also traffic noise and at least one airplane flyover.  

Crows

Field recording of rowdy crows along the Singapore River. One flies too close to the mic, midway the sound of the cold wind assaults the senses. Meditate, sleep, lose yourself to the noise and do what you love. HEADPHONES ON, ENJOY!

Wondering Mysteries

this is my 'The Heart's Filthy Lesson' ;)

THE EDGE OF THE ISLAND

And we come to the edge
of this island we call home
it's a place where
the waves crash on the shore
we come to the edge
of the island we call home
it's a place nobody
can ignore
in the cliffs you find a bone cave
it's an enclave
no it just a bone cave
it's a place
nobody can ignore
in the cliffs you find a bone cave
it's a place where
…nobody can save them
…nobody can save them
We come to the edge
of this island we call home
and
the waves crash on the 
shore
And we come to the edge
of the island we call home
it's a place that nobody can ignore
it's a place 
that nobody can ignore

demo098

Binaural recording of the Vancouver crow roost in Burnaby near Still Creek. I've been wanting to witness the roost and record there for a long time! I'm grateful to my friend Kirsten for making it happen. I love crows and every evening I see them flying off to the roost about 30 minutes before sunset depending on the weather. They gather in a few spots before departing. One of my favourite spots to see them depart is by the Coast Guard station near the Burrard Bridge. They go suddenly in big exuberant waves of black flapping and cawing. Their roost is in a very urban area which has been encroached in recent years. I'm told at one time there were an estimated 30,000 crows there, likely the biggest roost in North America. But over the years it has shrunk. I'm not sure how many there are there now...maybe 12 to 15 thousand. It was something to behold, the waves of them coming in and the chatter. When we moved around they were clearly disturbed and would find another tree to perch on. So we stayed still as much as possible and apologized when we had to move. 

Because it's an urban area, you'll hear lots of car and plane traffic. From the research I've done, the crows like the safety of the urban infrastructure. I'm sure it includes annoyances too but I guess it's a good trade off for them.

Recorded on April 1, 2025 from 19:59 to 20:06

Vancouver Crow Roost - April 1 2025 (binaural)

This poem is inspired by recent research, which has found that carrion crows can spontaneously detect geometric regularity - like right angles and symmetry – just like humans.
