Last night we got some Great Horned Owl juveniles again on livestream. Here's a bit about why this is a great time of year to find these birds #birding #owls #GreatHornedOwl www.patreon.com/posts/why-th...

First of a series on my first steps into birding... free access. Can also look up "Journal of a Songbirder" on any podcast app for the audio versions as well. #birding www.patreon.com/posts/first-...

There are many people who have high-frequency hearing loss, and don't hear a lot of bird sounds and & songs. After a couple years hiatus I've finally had the time to begin updating the Songbirding Under 5KHz feed, where the high frequencies are lowered. #birds #birdsong pnc.st/s/songbirdin...

In part 2 of the hike at Logan Run, we encounter some juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers! #birding #birds #birdsongs #FieldRecordings songbirding.com/podcast/song...

Did you know there's a proposal to split Warbling Vireo into two species -- essentially a Western and Eastern variety? I get into that in this post. Also available to listen to. (Podcast feed for this kind of thing is forthcoming.) #birding #birds www.patreon.com/posts/why-wa...

Songscapes is back. From this point forward there will be a new episode monthly. This month's is from a recording made along Moose creek in Kananakis Country at the end of May, 2025. No narrations, just nature! #birds #NatureSoundscapes #FieldRecording #Alberta pnc.st/s/songscapes...

Songbirding Patreon posts are now going to be fully open to the public for free! Here's a whole pile of updates about what's going on with Songbirding, Songscapes, bonus recordings, and more. You can read OR listen now! #birding #FieldRecording #Songbirding www.patreon.com/posts/songbi...

Not many episodes of Songbirding get recorded in the rain -- mostly to keep the equipment safe -- but in this classic third season episode, a Rose-breasted Grosbeak (and others!) made it worth it. #birding #birdsong #RoseBreastedGrosbeak #FieldRecording pnc.st/s/songbirdin...

Season 3 of Songbirding wasn't to be released until late 2020. But with a sudden onset of the Covid pandemic, it made sense to release April 2020. The audience grew immensely after Apple promoted it that May! The Mockingbirds of Bayfront Park started it off with an urban birding walk in #HamOnt 🪶

Once in a while there's an episode of Songbirding that appoaches things a bit differently... In The Barn was part of Season 4 ("On Territory"), and is an edited soundscape of Barn Swallows in their not-so-natural habitat: a barn in rural Ontario. #BarnSwallow #birds #birding #soundscapes
