I'm thrilled that this chorus of stories about music, nature, and listening has been recognized as a Pulitzer finalist. Now in paperback in US, UK, and ANZ. Take your ears and imagination on a journey with me into the sonic riches and brokenness of our world. 🦜💚🎵🐸🎻🏙️⚖️

#atlanta #conyers #decatur, chemical fire still burning. No info on what chemicals are being released. The county says "shelter in place if the plume moves over your vicinity" -- not reassuring. Yesterday the air was burned-plastic/chlorine odor.

Many insects duet by sending vibratory pulses through the leaves that they’re standing on. They hear one another through their legs. Inaudible in air, these vibrations shoot through plant material, linking insects in a network of song.

Love songs that predatory birds can’t hear. I recorded (contact mic) and photographed these red-banded leafhoppers right outside our kitchen door, on some fireweed and roses. Graphocephala coccinea, native to North and Central America. Each insect is about 6 millimeters long. 1/2
