American Woodcock
The Music of Nature proudly presents American Woodcock, a video portrait of an American Woodcock giving it's nasal peent calls at dusk. Notice the subtle throat sound that immediately precedes each peent. At the end, he takes flight and you can hear the high-pitched twittering of his wings, a sound made by modified wing feathers.

Magic Mushrooms (Episode 2 - A Trip Through the Garden - A Short Guide to Plant-based Substances)
This video was created for workers in the youth, alcohol and other drug sector (NOT FOR GENERAL DISTRIBUTION).
Magic mushrooms are hallucinogenic mushrooms that occur naturally in the environment. In Queensland, the two most common species of magic mushrooms are Psilocybe cubensis (“gold tops”) and Copelandia Cyanescens (“blue meanies”), and they appear during the summer months following heavy rain. In this video, Dovetail’s own Cameron Francis explains these two species of mushroom, and describes some of the effects of the active ingredient – psilocybin, as well as some of the potential risks associated with the use of magic mushrooms.
