"Above the Sound". Walk with an ornithologist "In the Rhythm of Flight. The Life of Mountain Birds", August 21, 2026

🦅 Birds remain one of the most amazing and sensitive indicators of environmental conditions.

🌍 By studying their migrations, numbers, and behavior, scientists gain valuable data about the state of ecosystems and changes in nature.

📅 From August 12 to 26, 2026, the "Above the Sound" music and science festival invites you to explore the research of ornithologists and learn more about the feathered world of the Caucasus.

🐦 Participants will discover amazing facts about rare species, seasonal migrations, and the peculiarities of bird life in mountainous regions.

🌲 The festival's scientific program helps to see how closely interconnected all elements of living nature are.

🐦 Event Program:

🪶 Find a mate. Build a nest. Raise chicks. Take to the sky. Fly thousands of kilometers. Return.
This repeating cycle is the precise natural rhythm in which birds live, synchronizing with the changes in the surrounding world.

🌿 Together with ornithologist Irina Morozova, on a walk along the "Pichtovaya" eco-trail, we will immerse ourselves in observing the feathered inhabitants of the Caucasus and try to hear their language.

🎧 Program includes:
• Getting acquainted with the calls of different bird species;
• Trying to identify familiar birds by their chirping;
• Discovering the cries, trills, and songs of unfamiliar birds;
• Observing bird behavior in their natural habitat.

🔍 We will learn to listen more attentively to nature and distinguish the forest's sound palette – from delicate whistles to powerful cries.

🎼 The walk will be complemented by a musical program from the artists of the "Above the Sound" festival, creating a dialogue between natural sounds and musical interpretations.
