River Song: With the Banana Slug String Band (Sharing Nature with Children Books)

For an introduction to the water cycle or just to celebrate Earth Day, this is a book/CD combo that both pleases and informs. The author is not only an award-winning environmental educator and river guide, but also member of the well-known Banana Slug String Band. From the trickle of snowmelt to the roar of the ocean, River Song celebrates rivers as a fascinating, ever-changing source of life and joy. It also introduces the young reader to vocabulary such as eddy, riffle and meander, and tells about some of the plants, animals, and insects that depend on the river. The attached CD presents the vibrant rendition from the band.

In an attempt to get faster shutter speeds, I am trying my 5D cranked up to 1000 iso. While it is a slug compared to the 40D which has a burst mode and will fire 5 to 6 fps (frames per second) the 5D is lucky to get 3. The 40D at that high an iso has much more noise than the 5D. On these gray low light days it is very tough to get a fast enough shutter speed for in flight shots of the little speedster birds.

...remember that old Doug and the Slugs song from ions ago??
