Nocturnal Nature
bonusEach 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. This podcast is powered by Pinecast. Try Pinecast for free, forever, no credit card required.

S5 Ep 13Two Short Hikes
It’s the last evening before I head back home, and I won’t be back again until late August.

S5 Ep 12Scugog Lake
It’s the last night before I leave, and I’m hiking along Scuggog Lake near Johnston Harbour to retrieve my bioacoustic recorders. I’ve come across a flock of cackling Red-breasted Mergansers, but at the time I wasn’t sure of the identity of the species by the sound alone.

S5 Ep 8Season 5 Birdsong Soundscapes & Quiz #1
In this season of Songbirding, we’ve heard a number of species, some multiple times. Long ago I did some end-of-season birdsong identification quizzes, and I wanted to do that again, but in a smaller scale. In this episode you’ll hear a few minutes recordings of a prominent species — sometimes two — followed by an identification of the species, before the next recording plays. These are all species that have been featured on episodes 1 through 7. I hope that this can help you learn a new song or two, or, if birdsong identification isn’t your thing, you can still just listen to the birds sing. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Serenades: American Redstart
bonusFor the holidays I'm releasing a sample episode of Songbirding Serenades, normally a Patreon exclusive. Enjoy! The American Redstart is a cheery, friendly warbler that vocalizes in a lot of different ways. It can be hard to nail down this song as it varies so much, but generally it is always a short song, and tends to end abruptly or with an accent. It is a fairly persistent singer though, as you will hear -- and the pause between each song is usually only a few seconds long. A few times in these following soundscapes it may even sound like the redstart is mimicking other warbler species. But, do be aware, some of these recordings actually do contain other species. For feedback you can contact me through Patreon, Discord, or email [email protected]. Each episode is a paid subscriber exclusive. If and when I get more soundscape recordings of a species, I will go back and add the new content to the existing episode, so a given episode may grow in length over time.
