This is the second day of birdwalks. We walked together with Moses Marua, Kaumb Bai and Abia Bai along the road to Morehead, east of Rouku. tci20131008CDv-01: Chris Healey is measuring the size of a bushfowl mount. Kaumb Bai is telling a story about the origin of fire. This story involves a particular bird. Abia Bai talks about various birds and their distinctive calls. tci20131008CDv-02: we are crossing the road in order to walk to Masu, a hamlet where the Mayawa clan used to live in the past. Abia sees a piece of firewood on the road and this prompts a little story. tci20131008CDv-04 - tci20131008CDv-06: we walk around in Masu, where some Mayawa families are now planting yams. tci20131008CDv-04: We walk to the story place in Masu.
