B
I work with
Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education
organization at Bailey Arboretum in
Locust Valley. Trying to help injured,
displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;
survival is
never certain. However,
when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in
Muttontown. She had found a young
owl
（
猫
头鹰
）
on the
ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to
3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a
carrier for safety.
I examined the
chick
（
雏鸟
）
and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I
might have been
2
able to put it back, but no
luck. My next work was to construct a nest and
anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was
very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some
pine branches into the
basket to make
this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick
in the nest, and it quickly calmed
down.
Now all that was
needed were the parents, but they were absent. I
gave the homeowner a
recording of the
hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the
presence of chicks to adults; they
might also encourage our chick to start
calling as well. I gave the owner as much
information as
possible and headed home
to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but
sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!
The homeowner
called to say that the
parents had responded to the recordings. I drove
over and saw the chick in the
nest
looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied
in the nest by zxxk the greatest sight of
al
—
l LUNCH! The parents had
done their duty and would probably continue to do
so.
24.

Some of the world
'
s most famous musiciaesitie gathered in
Paris and New Orleans to
celebrate the
first annual International Jazz Day.
UNESCO
（
United Nations
Educati on al, Scie ntific
and Cultural
Orga ni zati on
）
rece ntly
set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz
music, its
significanee, and its
potential as a unifying
（
联合
）
voice across cultures.
Despite the celebratio ns, though, in
the U.S. the jazz audie nee con ti nues to shrink
and grow
older, and the music has
failed to connect with younger generations.
It
'
Jas on Mora
n
'
s°
b to help
cha nge that. As the Kenn edy Cen ter
'
astistic adviser for jazz,
Moran hopes to widen the audience for
jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve
its
history and culture.
“
Jaz^eems like it
'
not really a part of the American
appetite, Moran tells
National Public
Radio
'
s reporter Neal
Conan.
“
What I
'
m hoping to accomplish is that
my gen erati on and youn ger start to
rec on sider and un dersta nd that jazz is not
black and write
anymore. It
'
s actually color, and it
'
s actually digital.
”
Mora n says one
of the problems with jazz today is that the en
terta inment aspect of the music
has
been lost.
“
Themusic
can
'
be presentedtoday the
way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue
to move, because the way the world
works is not the same,
”
says
Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a
project that arranged Fats Waller
'
music for a dance party,
“
Jus
t
o
kind of put it back in the mind that
Waller is dance music as much as it is con cert
music,
”
says Mora

“
Forme, it

on. In music, where does the emotio

lie? Are we,
as
huma ns, gai ning any in
sight
（
感
悟
）
on how to talk
about ourselves and how something as abstract
as a Charlie Parker record gets us into
a dialogue about our emotio ns and our thoughts?
Sometimes
we lose sight that the music
has a wider con text, says Moran,
“
sd want to con ti nue those dialogues.
Those are the things I want to foster.
