    Nocturnal Nature

    Nocturnal Nature

    Each year I attempt to put together a new episode for the Halloween season, but as you might be aware, finding owls is in itself a time consuming effort, let alone recording sounds of them.

    While I didn’t succeed in capturing much this year, I did think of what I think should be a fun fill-in. This episode will be entirely soundscapes of birds, insects, frogs, and coyotes singing in the night. It will be a standalone episode, in case you’d like to play it on a loop for a haunted house, or whatever purpose you might have in mind.

    This will be on both the Songbirding and Songscapes podcast feeds.

    Species include: Eastern Screech-Owl, Great Horned Owl, Eastern Whippoorwill, Eastern Coyote, Common True Katydid, Chorus Frog, and more.

    Locations of recording were throughout southern Ontario, and in Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania.

    It's mid-May and most breeding bird species have arrived, and a few are still migrating through. Red-eyed Vireos, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Ovenbird, and more can be heard throughout this soundscape.

    This was recorded using my new SO.1 Sonorous Objects omnidirectional pair of microphones.
