Birds

Side Profile — Quiet Watch
Stillness between calls, the marsh held in suspension.

Birds organize the landscape through motion and sound—perched silhouettes, passing shadows, and calls that define space before the eye catches form.
Edges of water, open fields, dense understory, and high canopy each host their own assemblages.
Together they form a shifting, seasonal structure layered across the same ground.

Habitat & Movement Groups

Birds can be approached through how they move and where they spend their time—each group revealing a different relationship to structure, air, and ground.
