Join BirdNote tomorrow, November 30th!
Illustrator David Sibley and actor H. Jon Benjamin will face off in the bird illustration battle of the century during BirdNote's Year-end Celebration and Auction!
Flawn Williams has been capturing bird sounds for public radio audiences for many years: Canada Geese on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Magellanic Penguins in coastal Argentina, the search for the elusive (or extinct?) Ivory-billed Woodpecker in southeast Louisiana, domestic roosters in the Chihuahua state of Mexico, Sandhill Cranes in Nebraska's Platte River, antiphonal wrens in lowland Bolivia, Red-winged Blackbirds in a Wisconsin bog, and oropendolas in Amazonian Ecuador, all adding up to a satisfying New World migratory path.
He is delighted to reunite with Alex Chadwick for this BirdNote series from Big Bend, after many earlier forays together into the natural world. Flawn currently teaches music and documentary audio recording at Georgetown University, capturing everything from operas to oral histories to the great outdoors as an independent producer. He also runs a singers' summer camp, where his "Ad Hoc Harmonies" class is said by some to be "for the birds!"
