Birding By Ear

Today we talk about Sparrows that loosely sound like song sparrows. We start off with Song Sparrows (2m38s), then Fox Sparrow (7m), then White-crowned Sparrow (11m36s), I briefly mention White-throated Sparrow (14m51s), and finally Lincoln's Sparrow (16m30s). Calls begin at 18m26s.

Are you participating in your local Christmas Bird Count? Today I have a special episode dedicated to the annual CBC. I review three common birds you will likely hear on your own CBC. And then go over three birds most of us will only find in the winter. I discuss Snow Buntings, Common Redpoll, and American Tree Sparrow.

I thought it would be fun to put together a special Thanksgiving theme episode including of course wild turkey but also a few local game birds. Today we talk about Ring-Necked Pheasant (1:30), Ruffed Grouse (3:50), Dusky Grouse (8:10), and of course Wild Turkeys (12:10). I recommend headphone for this episode due to the lower pitch sounds.

I had a lot of fun putting this together and I hope you have fun listening to it. Regardless of how or if you celebrate thanksgiving I’m thankful you took some time to listen.

Thanks for listening.

I'm taking a little break from creating new episodes but I will be back in the fall/winter. I know I said I was working on an episode for iterides but my son got sick for a few days so I was stuck home and thought oh I can finish that up real quick. Boy was I wrong. I took forever. But I got it done anyway and now I really am going to take a break for a while. Hope you have enjoy listening as much as I enjoy making these episodes. Don't forget to follow if you want to be notified when new episodes publish. Let me know what birds you want to learn and I will see you when it gets cold again. Happy Birding.

Thanks for listening.

Today we listen to six species of birds as we compare three pairs of birds, one that primarily lives at high elevation with a similar species that lives at lower elevation. We listen to Black-Capped Chickadee, and Mountain Chickadee (1:21), Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay and Steller's Jay (with a brief mention of California Scrub-Jay) (11:41) and finally House Finch and Cassin's Finch (16:47).

Thanks and Happy Birding.
