 LEADERS OF THE PACK
by Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders

There is something so exciting about the sound of wolves howling
       
In the springtime, deep in the forest when the snow begins to thaw.

It's the time when baby wolves are born

And their mama feeds and keeps them warm,
   
And daddy runs to hunt for dinner.

These two parents work together
                     
'Cause they love their pups and love each other.

CHORUS:
                  
They're the leaders of the pack.
      
They howl and bark their pack howls back.
       
They have a way of knowing how to keep their family safe and growing.
         
They are strong.  They are wild.
        
They guide their pack with a protective style.
           
They're alpha wolves and they're the leaders of the pack.


There is something so exciting about the sound of wolves howling

In the summertime, deep in the forest when the wolf pups leave their den.
              
And the members of the pack all work together
   
To care for the pups in all kinds of weather.

This is their time to learn and play
      
And mama and papa wolf show the way
                               
Because they love their pups and love each other. 

to CHORUS
 

          Wolves have family values just like you and me.

They work hard to keep their children healthy, safe and free.
    
And when I hear wolves howling, I know deep in my heart
   
We must protect their habitats, and keep them safe from harm.
     
And daddy runs to hunt for dinner. These two parents work together.
  
In spring, summer, fall and winter.   

to CHORUS

 Wolves are in great need of our protection. They need large undisturbed wild habitats in order to thrive.  They also need protection from hunters, their most dangerous predator. Wolves once lived in 40 of the United States, but now only live in a few western states. To learn more about how to help protect this endangered animal, go to the Defenders of Wildlife, NRDC or California Wolf Center and Endangered Wolf Center websites.

Dear Friends. Check out this video of a kayaker's amazing encounter with a blue whale, the largest animal on Earth. It gives you a close-up look at just how big and magnificent these creatures are. I felt excited and tingly inside when I watched this. You can learn just how big a blue whale by listening to my song So Big! Blue Whale! on our CD IF I WERE A FISH and other Ocean Songs for Kids by Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders®. I wrote this song as a tribute to the world's largest animal. See if you can if you can find facts about a blue whale's lungs, heart and tongue in the song! (The lyrics to the song are below.)

Dear Friends. This is a fun National Geographic kids' video about dolphins. Here you will see a pod of dolphins using their sounds to locate large schools of anchovies. After locating the fish, they then use dolphin teamwork to catch the anchovies for dinner. Echolation and cooperation are the names of the game in this educational kids video. You can watch more natiuonal geographic videos at National Geographic Kids Online. You can also watch my animal song video about dolphins and echolocation, called Clickety Clack, in a previous blog post. In the video you will find the dolphin photos by NOAA and the lyrics of the song so that you can sing along. Clickety-Clack is the first song on my CD IF I WERE A FISH and other Ocean Songs for Kids by Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders. I love seeing dolphins off the coast of California where I live. I hope you enjoy these dolphin videos. -Birdsong

Dear Friends, In this video, you can listen to the chorus of my new song, The Flowers have Gone Wild!. Did you know that: Most plants require the assistance of pollinators to produce seeds and fruit? Pollinators include birds, beetles, bees, butterflies, wasps and flies, ants, bats and moths? Pollinators visit flowers in search of food, mates, shelter and nest-building materials? The sugar in a flower's nectar and the protiens, fats, vitamins and minerals from its pollen provide food and energy for pollinators? This energy helps pollinators grow and provides power for their metamorphosis, flight and reproduction? Most wildflowers are fertilized when pollinators visit the flower and then carry pollen from flower to flower? A flower need to be fertilized in order to be produce seeds and fruit? Without pollinators and fertilized flowers the world of nature (including people) would go hungry? Therefore, the relationship between flowers and pollinators feeds the world? These are some of the interesting facts I learned as I was writing my kids song about wildflowers, called The Flowers have Gone Wild! You can learn more about wildflowers and their pollinators on a great website by the US Forest Service called Celebrating Wildflowers. You can also hear the chorus to my new kids song in the video below. The video also has photos of wildflowers taken this past Spring in Laguna Beach, CA and Anza Borrego State Park, CA. You can find the lyrics to The Flowers have Gone Wild! in my last blog entry.
