When we see a bird flying from branch to branch happily chirping, it is easy to imagine they lead a simple life of freedom, flight, and feathers. What we don't see is the arduous, life-threatening challenges they face at every moment.

Like the goldfinch, which manages extreme weather changes by doubling the density of its plumage in winter.

Twilit and sinister, oozing with ague, bad airs, boggarts and other spirits: in the mind’s eye marshes, bogs and swamps are dangerous, crepuscular—and only partly of this world. For centuries, wetlands, have been the object of our distrust: we’ve drained away their demons, encroached upon and denuded them, ripping away not only their fragile beauty, botany and birdlife but also the carefully calibrated lives of those that have come to understand and thrive in them. In Swamp Songs, Tom Blass takes us on a journey through these strange lands and waterscapes.

The clear whistled song of the Eastern Meadowlark can be heard in spring not only in the East of North American but also in desert grasslands of the Southwest.

The black 'V' shaped patch on its chest also distinguishes the Eastern Meadowlark. This ambient soundscape offers the Western Meadowlark's birdsong recorded in its natural habitat together with other birds, insects and other ground creatures.

The Western Meadowlark can be found in grasslands, prairies, pastures, and abandoned fields, all of which may be found across western and central North America, as far south as northern Mexico. Similar to the Eastern Meadowlark in appearance, this bird is recognised by its very different song and call-notes. This ambient soundscape offers the Western Meadowlark's birdsong recorded in its natural habitat together with other birds, insects and other ground creatures.

Dividing the sum total of human musical achievement, from Beethoven to The Beatles, Busta Rhymes to Bach, into just six fundamental forms, Levitin illuminates, through songs of friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion and love, how music has been instrumental in the evolution of language, thought and culture. And how, far from being a bit of a song and dance, music is at the core of what it means to be human.

The White-Breasted Nuthatch is a diminutive passerine bird, widely distributed across the United States, Canada, and parts of Mexico.
