Summary: In a popular scene from the Netflix series Our Planet , in the “Jungles” episode, a jay-sized bird called the western parotia performs a courting dance in the forests of New Guinea. He bows, shows off fancy footwork, spins and flashes his iridescent yellow throat patch to a potential partner. And watching all this from behind the camera was Northeast Kingdom resident and wildlife cinematographer Matt Aeberhard.
