An early morning soundscape recorded during the migration in May of 2021, at Fifty Point Conservation Area, Grimsby, Ontario, Canada.

During a midwinter day at Lake Niapenco, the ice and rocks make interesting sounds as the temperature rises through the day.

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.

The day begins with the occasional call of the green frog, and distant singing Red-winged Blackbirds and American Robins.
As the light emerges, bird songs are brought to the fore, and more species add their voices to the building dawn chorus.
Songscapes Season 2: A Day in Cootes Paradise was recorded on July 5, 2019 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Cootes Paradise is a 1500 acre wetland on the western edge of Lake Ontario, owned and managed by the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG), a charitable organization. It lies alongside the city of Hamilton, Ontario. The site is a National Historic Site, a Nationally Important Bird Area (IBA), and an Important Amphibian and Reptile Area (IMPARA).
