Yellow-Headed Blackbird “‘Song'”
I saw these a bunch one summer on a lake and just barely since. I loved their chainsaw/dialupmodem "song". Continue reading Yellow-Headed Blackbird “‘Song'”
Veery “Call and Song”
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK1gaTqBRRk
I first saw these migrating through this spring. Calling, but not singing. They're alleged to breed here, but I've only encountered them as migrants (I saw a handful more this fall).

Randy Edelman – To The Stars (from Dragonheart)
Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra, 2010. This well known film score has also been used in trailers and Oscar montages and is a true classic, even when the movie wasn't.

Thanks for letting me put on a week of soundtrack music.
Patrick Doyle – Henry V Suite (from Henry V)
Performed by SHW-Bergapelle Wasseralfingen, directed by Philip Walford
Henry V is a great movie, Kenneth Branagh is awesome, and this is Patrick Doyle's debut soundtrack; from the suite, I particularly like "The Death of Falstaff" (3:31-5:32) and of course "St. Crispin's Day/The Battle of Agincourt" (8:40-11:42).

Paul Simon – Father and Daughter (from The Wild Thornberrys Movie)
Seemed like a good soundtrack piece to go along in concert with my Father Knows Best post. Nominated for an Oscar in 2002. Enjoy
