A piece by Kristin Wilkinson featuring Bill Miller for the Oak Spring Garden Foundation's Covid-19 Artist Response Program. Kristin Wilkinson wrote:

"The English dictionary lists a horde, hover, muster, parcel, and murder as collective nouns for crows. I began to think of crows collectively, as a mass, a force through numbers, as I worked with Bill Miller recording his vocal on this song. As we recorded this piece, a number of crows suddenly landed on the trees in my yard. They called out loudly, so I recorded them to open the song. Bill’s name in his native language is Fushy-yah-heaka, which translates as Birdsong. We’ve noted in the past that when we work in the studio, songbirds sit in the branches of the trees outside. The past month has been a time of great sadness for Bill, and the songbirds gave way to crows.

In the garden and in nature, we are captivated by the sensation of immersion when we are surrounded by numerous members of the same species of animal or plant cultivar. Whether standing in a field of daffodils or under a murmuration of starlings, we seek meaning and discover new emotions in the vastness of their presence."
