A Birder's Notebook (2011)

Observe birds at dawn, watch a whole growing season of birds in their different phases and behaviors, and soar like a bird traveling to the different featured conservation areas while bird-like music accompanies us - you'll find these images and more in 'A Birder's Notebook.' Andrea Mason Nolin spent 9 months filming and appreciating birds from her backyard to local conservation areas, visiting Mass Audubon's Visual Art Center, viewing the migration-readying birds on Plum Island with two world-class birders, and then used her artistic and imaginative skills to edit and show birds in a new light, making informative titles (sometimes identifying the bird calls with audio waveform text), and arranging and performing the chamber music, along with her string quartet.
