I'm envisioning a phone app like the one you mentioned in another article (the guided birding tour?) that recognizes bird sounds. Bird translation app sounds incredible. I bet they know when it's going to rain and whatnot too.
Totally! Merlin the bird app can ID birds based on their sounds but how cool would it be if it could also tell you what kinds of calls you're hearing and what they could mean...
That bit about the birds knowing about a predator stalking you before you know it is incredible. Haha maybe most of what we hear from birds in the forest is "watch out! human!"
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! It brings me great joy to see how passionate you are about nature and how you are using your love of language to spread this knowledge to others. I'm going to guess this all started with Mr. Turtle when you were two. You found Mr. Turtle at several different campgrounds that summer and we continue to find him to this day in the backyard creek. You have greatly expanded your observations and I'm so glad that you are encouraging us to open our eyes to all the beauty that is around us. Enjoy your rafting trip! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Thanks Mama :) I still get just as excited when I find Mr. Turtle. Love you! Will tell you all about the trip when I return.
