Wild Roots
by Marimar McNaughton / Photography by Allison Breiner Potter
The mating call of the wild Roots begins somewhere deep
inside the chest and rises into the hollow beneath the
nasal passages, adding a layer of resonance, before passing
over the tongue and across the teeth and gums. The haunting,
honking cry exits the mouth on exhalation and reverberates
across the elevated knoll near Landfall’s Pembroke Jones Lake.
