>>>> Maine Birdcalls

I love birdwatching, and would love to share that with the viewer. Maine Birdcalls will introduce each common Maine bird and display its birdcalls gently, while soothing music plays in the background. This should inspire calm and learning. 

>>>> Inspiration

Actually, the idea is generally inspired by the beginning of the movie “The Big Year” which centers around the yearly birding competition in North America. In the introduction of the movie, the main character is listening to a podcast of bird calls, and I think about it a lot!

I have many recordings of birdcalls from identifying birds, so I will likely use what I can find in those recordings! If I can’t find a good version I will see if there are any reliable recordings online.
