On
The Marsh
These nine original
flute compositions, written, performed and produced by
Jon Sherman, are a celebration of California's Salt Marsh community and thirteen birds
that you might hear when visiting this endangered habitat. Since the 1850's, over ninety percent
of California's original coastal wetlands have been lost and many of the remaining wetlands are
in danger of further degradation or destruction. May these songs, which include the authentic
bird vocalizations of Western Meadowlark, Red-winged Blackbird, Killdeer, Least Tern,
American Kestrel, Osprey, Clapper Rail, Song Sparrow, Belted Kingfisher,
Common Yellowthroat, Savannah Sparrow, Willet, and Canada Goose,
inspire a renewed wonder and communion with one of the most
endangered habitats on Earth.

"On the Marsh is a wonderful
example of
how man and nature can live together in harmony.
Featuring the authentic sounds of thirteen different bird species one might hear at a California
Salt Marsh, Jon Sherman’s flute playing glides and soars around their sounds, forming a united
sound of bird and man. The songs are peaceful and beautiful, just as it is being out in nature –
or in this case, out in a salt marsh. Jon is a true role model when it comes to shedding a light on
nature’s delicate eco-systems, encouraging us to remember the beauty and the importance,
beckoning us to play our parts - to preserve and protect."
- Lisa D. Smith, The Big Blend
"Of all the places along California's magnificent, 1,100-mile coastline, the most fragile and least appreciated are the wetlands. They are where the earth suckles the sea, a nursery of unbelievable fertility. If the planet can be thought of as having nests, its coastal wetlands are those nests. They are the places where much of the Earth's food chain is born."

“We
need
the
tonic
of
wildness,
to
wade
sometimes
in
marshes
where the bittern and the
meadow-hen lurk,
and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the
whispering sedge
where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds
her nest..."
~ Henry David Thoreau
"Hope
and the future for me are not in lawns
and cultivated fields,
not in towns and cities, but in the impervious
and quaking swamps."
