S5E24 - A Quiet Evening With Birds

Songbirding Under 5kHz ·

2025/09/02

It’s mid-June of 2022, almost a year since I first started recording in this part of the Bruce Peninsula National Park. I’m back at the old hunt camp on a quiet evening, retrieving bioacoustic recorders, and listening carefully at the last songs of the day. The last songs of the day are amongst the softest and quietest one will hear, almost as if the birds are themselves are softly lulling those around them into sleep.

S5E23 - Season 5 Birdsong Soundscapes & Quiz #2

Songbirding Under 5kHz ·

2025/09/01

So far in this season of Songbirding, we’ve heard quite a few species, some of them many times. In this episode you’ll hear recordings of one or two songbird species, followed by an identification of the species, before the next recording plays. These are all species that have been heard since the previous quiz episode. I hope that this can help you learn a new song or two. At the end, I’ll share a long form recording from one of the bioacoustic devices I retrieved in June of 2022 in Johnston
