Whenever I'm lucky enough to go walking in the woods, I never listen to music.

I prefer to listen to natural sounds, birds and red squirrels and leaves rustling.

En ville, I often listen to my ipod while out and about, but last Friday I thought, "why not turn off the old ipod for a stretch and see if you can hear any chill urban birdsong?"

And I did hear birds communicating with one another as I made my way downtown.
