Dr. Drew Lanham is a superb scientist, an honored professor, and perhaps most important of all-- a poet.
My opinion is; he is a creeper. Peeping on women hiking on nature trails.

What a beautiful story. He is such a gifted speaker and story-teller.
“Birds stitch the world together” is wonderful - poetic and true.
This is what happens when a human being not only has a job or some random profession but finds his calling: he integrates fully with his own humanity, nature and culture. Truly a way of living to aspire to!
"Birds stitch the world together." Thanks from Athens, Greece. Wonderful. Thank you!
i just finished dr. lanham's book "The Home Place", one of the loveliest books I've ever read. i was astounded by the beauty and poetry of his writing...few memoirs are this good (lifelong consumer of the genre here). thank you for sharing your story dr. L.
"Birds were like constant companions." 💜
I feel like so much of this videos was thoughts and feelings I’ve had about birds for years, just could never fully recognize or understand. This has opened up a new world of wonder to me. Thank you.
I just now chanced upon this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it and absolutely loved what this gentleman had to say!
"Birds stitch the world together." Ahhhhhhh! yes. yes.
Thank you for sharing this! 👋🏽♥️🪶🦅🐦🦆🦃🐤
A wonderful and inspiring human.
Aloha from Hawaii where very rare honey creepers still dwell in native forest; the Hawaiian crow is struggling to make it. Sweet little Pueo spend the day on patrol for goodies and The Hawaiian Hawk thrives freely. I enjoy your poem about the little sparrow… they are intrepid! So cute I noticed a ingenious pretty one getting a few seeds of of the twig of grass/ grabbing it and holding the twig down to enjoy the fresh snack. You Sir represent “ True Aloha “
It’s 2/8/23 and I’m pleased that I saw your Canvas piece on NPR thank you.
Such a touching a thoughtful presentation. Gives me a new perspective. Thank you.
"But gravity always won." I hear you, I tried so hard to break free and fly when I was a kid, living in a similar environment on Southern Virginia. Great mini-documentary, thank you for sharing your passion.
Thank you deeply for this "needle and thread."
WOW that this doesn't have thousands of views and likes!
Beautifully done video, very special 👍
Im filled with inspiration, what a wonderful documentary. Thank you
I have been a lazy birder here in the UK for some years, I say lazy because I do not really care what I see I just love being out with my binoculars and being with nature.
It is warming to see others also being out and about watching the wonders of our beautiful (mostly) world.
Have a great year mate.
Birds are wild animals that live their lives right in front of our eyes.
Every year here in London,England, I'd sit in my garden especially during late summers and listen to the European Blackbird sing its heart out from a to aerial on a neighbours rooftop. Been sadly quiet this past year without its serenade. And the absence of Swifts screaming high in the summers skies this year,along with the House Martins I'd see by the River Thamesin Barnes,southwest London,fluttering from their muddy nests under roof eaves,has been palpable and Solomn. The saviour is, that I get to see Red Kites almost everyday over my house when once they were persecuted out of local existence
Great piece!!!
Dr. Lanthan,
Please, where in South Carolina did you grow up? I am from Wadmalaw Island near Charleston. Same thing- I ran around between our house, my grandmother and her sisters; birding, crabbing, fishing, riding with no supervision.
Grew up to become a Marine Scientist. Retired now and run around alone in nature as much as I can find.
My heart aches for children who will never spend unsupervised time in nature.
Thank you for your video.
Thank you, that was beautiful, sad and beautiful
I will begin reading Dr. Lanham's books ASAP.
Flying dreams are my favorite! 🕊️ We are all connected--so true!💞
Wonderful!
Thank you!
What a beautiful film. Thanks
I loved this!
Birds are my joy, wings telling to those who have fallen, fly! I came here to watch the beauty, but I find sadness as well. We allow Monsanto and other corporate entities to kill off our pollinators and insects with toxic pesticides, robbing the dinner plates of so many species. We are not leaving enough habitat, open prairies and wild meadows for food in areas of migration, human consumerism, trinkets more dear than thousands of species of living art. We are aborting rapidly, life on this planet, never considering our own numbers, our own expansion, not all of us, but many, stripping this planet of it’s galaxy of riches. I am so gladden by your heart and your work, it is up to all of us to keep singing for the song of nature, and cry out the carols of species. You and your work be blessed my friend!
Terrific program! The silence in the woods where I live in NE Pennsylvania has felt deafening in the past few years. Joining you in hope for the future.
I love birds too
Great job mate. Really enjoyed the commentary and video. Thank you for sharing.
I just put up a bird-watching video Newport Oregon Yaquina Bay.
Wonderful and humble. Birdsong is the soul song of the heart.
You're the man.
Thank you
That was neat
I'm happily married, but I think I'm falling in love with this guy 😍
Great video!
Thanks!
Very beautiful presentation... I think all children across the spectrum, should be exposed to our natural world, particularly birds, from grade one thru high school....
I enjoyed your documentary about Birds watching from Israel 🇮🇱
Amazing Bro, if you should consider visiting Senegal West Africa as birding destination i would be gratful to act as your guide.
Keep it up Man nice Speech.
