Episode Description
A soundscape of a particularly misty morning, recorded at 4.12am during late spring from the observing window of the Tomintoul Bird Hide. The hide sits on the edge of the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland.
The calls of cuckoos create an eerie presence that gives depths to the length of the surrounding valley. Along with the days awakening dawn chorus, loud insects chirping, a brash pheasant interrupts the scene as well as slight interior noise from the bird hide.
Recorded by Rachel Larsen-Jones.

Co-hosted by Daniel Tkacik and Ellis Robinson, two Ph.D. engineering students from Carnegie Mellon University, I Wonder… begins each episode with a question. When do we get our first memory? Why are whales so big? Are cities good or bad for the environment? Each question is the seed for a half-hour exploration on a topic that hopes to inspire curiosity, learning, and (you guessed it!) wonder.
