Thanks for including my music in your soundtrack! The tune is The Butterfly from my CD Gravity Hill with William Coulter. My husband was a teacher on Hog Island and I remember a lovely visit there years ago.

Good little video, lovely place. Check out my site for a video explaining bird banding/ringing in detail.

Hog Island can, indeed, be a life changing experience!

I've been going there for over a decade, as both a camper and FOHI volunteer. I especially love the shot of the Fish House - many years ago I was on a ladder putting up many of the lobster bouys that can still be seen! I'll be back in June 2011 for the Joy of Birding session & can't wait to get back! It was great seeing so many familiar places and faces in the video (Dr. Kress, Puffin Pete, Sara Morris), thanks for posting!

Hog Island changed my life, no doubt. Can't wait to get back.
