Andrew, Tim, ENTS,
Thanks for sharing the day with me! I ended up really liking some of train video. I liked the woods very much, but I HATE the train - so, of course, the train video ends up being more expressive. I edited out the part of the subway attendant yelling at me that I can't take videos in the train station. Is this some terrorism thing or, as I oh so respectfully call the new security measures a "9/11" thing? Thanks for id'ing the bird! I learn a new one. Come from Maine, but learn my bird id in.....New York CIty. Thanks again, Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Joslin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, Dec 1, 2009 7:54 pm Subject: Re: [ENTS] NYBG - music video visit Enjoyed your videos and music soundtracks. The subway ride is the urban equivalent to the walk to the tree through the woods, good camera work on the train. The mystery bird is a male Eastern Towhee, they sometimes hold over in slightly warmer coastal arts of the northeast instead of going all the way south. The female Red-bellied Woodpecker may be on a black birch but it could be black cherry too. Nice work, always enjoyable for me to combine birding and tree-ing :-) -AJ JennyNYC wrote: > ENTS - > > If interested, I made 2 music videos of a trip to the NY Botanical > Garden Forest on Sunday. > > One is the trip out there, quite an urban experience.... - http://vimeo.com/7915881 > music is Copland > > And then a slideshow video of some good stuff - http://vimeo.com/7928170: > one of the newly refurbished paths, a pignut hickory, sweetgum fruit, > beech grove, a pignut hickory twig and bud, what's left of the > hemlock stand, Aralia spinosa arising like the devils infinite fingers > from the open forest floor cleared by the dead hemlocks, a mockernut > and a shagbark, a a couple of red-bellied woodpeckers - one of them on > a black cherry - am I right about all this?
