My friend Tom Nelson had recommended this beautiful, funny documentary to me a while back, and I greatly enjoyed it, so I must pay it forward! It already has 3.3m views on YouTube, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Tom shared this with me:
”It’s a quirky low-budget travel adventure mixed in with lots of stunningly beautiful bird footage, all captured by the two brothers who made this film. Their film budget is said to be $16k, and the film is in many ways better than a 2011 Hollywood movie called “The Big Year” on the same subject with a production budget of $40 million.”
Enjoy!
Let me know in the comments - what did you think or feel?
And remember to plug back to nature.

I was recently banned from Stripe, so I cannot have paid memberships on Substack… but there’s always another way!
.
Local radio used to have a weekly contest called "Battle of the Sexes".
Listening on that day, two contestants went to war trying to see who could name more flowers.
The 'guy' jumped out with an impressive lead by blurting out "Rose".
She followed up with daisy.
The guy only paused for a few seconds before recovering with "carnations" (you could hear him muttering out the annual holidays in hopes of staying in the game).
She, without a second thought, said daffodil.
The guy, now getting nervous, and after a concerning delay, managed "lily" (with a sigh of relief).
She without delay countered with hyacinth.
You could hear the sweat rolling down his forehead as he started to suffer 'brain freeze'. Eventually he recovered with "orchid".
And off she went again, knocking out 'snapdragon'.
And then there was silence, and more silence. He died right there on the vine.
The guy, now defeated, but for the victory, the DJ required that she come up with at least two more flowers.
And with the grace of womanly connectivity to the world around her, she just started blurting out flower after flower after flower; tulips, crocus, sunflowers, peonies, chrysanthemums, and hydrangeas.
Laughing out loud, the radio DJ said, "is that all you've got?"
So, with her natural elegance, she paused for a minute and then buried him as well with: "delphiniums, gladiolus, irises, lavender, poppies, sweet peas, baby’s breath, amaryllis, proteas, camellias, dahlias, stock, lisianthus, cosmos, zinnias, bluebells, jasmine, magnolias, marigolds, heather, asters, birds of paradise, stephanotis, waxflowers, scabiosa, verbena, and hibiscus.
Then she asked, "would you like me to go on"?
"Crickets" on the other end.
Nature is complicated, but for those that choose to embrace it, it's an amazing gift.
Birds are one more of those gifts.
Blessings to you and Tom, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks; nice dove clip!
