the birds have had quite some adventures recently, traveling to Washington DC, Massachusetts, and Vermont.
It was great to have the help of videographer Genevieve Russell along for the DC part of the trip (see her blog entry about the project: www.storyportraitmedia.com/blog,)
many thanks for the collaboration of the Environmental Film Festival, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and all the great people we met!
It was also a very rich experience to visit Amherst College and work with Wendy Woodson's Scripts and Scores Class, where the students did some improvised performance with the birds.
Outside the museum in Brattleboro, VT the birds froze their feathers off but still encountered plenty of interesting people.
Here are some photos, there are more pictures and stories at www.christyhengst.com.
Wishing you a beautiful Spring,
