Comment:

this cd also has the following tracks:

31. field recordings- mockingbird
32. the beatles- blackbird
33. field recordings- crimson rosella
34. the be good tanyas- the littlest birds
35. field recordings- ring necked duck
36. something for kate- feeding the birds and hoping for something in return
37. field recordings- eastern rosella
38. ryan adams & the cardinals- night birds

this mix is for a birthday gift; birds are the biggest part of our lives, so i chose as many songs with field recording samplings as part of the songs as i could; the other songs have bird in the title, or birds as a central idea in the song. inbetween every songs are short field recordings of all the above-mentioned birds to break things up. the result is a cohesive, well-flowing mix.

i would never have found some of these songs without the help of the livejournal community, "bird_songs", so thanks to the people there for posting some of these.
