"Above the Sound". Walk with an ornithologist "In the Rhythm of Flight. The Life of Mountain Birds", August 19, 2026

🦅 The Caucasus is one of the most interesting places in Russia for birdwatching.

As part of the "Above the Sound" festival, specialists will talk about rare species, migrations, and bird behavior.

🐦 Research helps to better understand natural processes and preserve the region's biodiversity.

🌲 Each meeting opens a new page in the amazing world of wildlife.

🐦 Event Program:

🦅 How do birds find their way across continents and thousands of kilometers without maps or navigators?

🌲 During a walk along the "Pichtovaya" eco-trail with ornithologist Irina Morozova, we will get acquainted with the amazing world of birds and learn how their natural navigation system works.

🔍 We will discuss:
• how birds orient themselves during seasonal migrations;
• what role the Sun and the Earth's magnetic field play;
• whether birds can use the starry sky for navigation;
• why some species return to the same places every year.

🎶 Special attention will be paid to bird songs. We will try to recognize familiar birds by their singing, and learn to distinguish trills, whistles, cackles, and other sounds that fill the forests and mountain slopes of the Caucasus.

📸 Participants will be able to observe birds in their natural habitat and learn more about their behavior and lifestyle.

🎼 The walk will be complemented by a musical program from the artists of the "Above the Sound" festival, creating an unusual dialogue between human music and the sounds of wildlife.
