Bird Note

Bird Note:
Birds of Philadelphia
by Ameer Holmes

​Re-PLACE-ing Philadelphia is building an expanded archive of cultural memory that includes multiple histories, re-place-ing the established with new narratives and understandings. Notes consider place via the street, sound, food, trees, and other portals.

In partnership with educator Joshua Block, students from Philadelphia's Science Leadership Academy are creating and publishing their Philadelphia Field Notes. Ameer Holmes shares images of birds from two morning walks accompanied by self-composed music and a reflective poem below.
