			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on March 30, 2026 at Heart Place, this is the sound of night noises at blue hour. Listeners will hear a mixture of crickets in the pasture including the Southern Wood Crickets with their spritely chirps (about four per second), Southeastern Field Crickets delivering long trills with uneven pauses and Carolina Ground Crickets with a rapid, pulsing trill that stumbles now and then. Across the pasture frogs call from Heart Pond including the Southern Cricket Frogs, sounding like two small pebbles tapped together and Fowler’s Toads with their raspy “waaaa” call. The steady rhythm of insects and amphibians creates a natural chorus suited for meditation or drifting off to sleep.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on March 14, 2026 on the sleeping porch, this is the sound of a returning pair of Northern Rough-winged Swallows arriving at Heart Place, where they have successfully nested in recent years. Listeners will hear the swallows’ harsh <em>zeep</em> calls, buzzing notes and low, rough <em>bzzt</em> sounds carried on the March winds as other birds  including Red-shouldered Hawk, Blue Jay, Carolina Wren, Northern Cardinal, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee and Golden-crowned Kinglet add to the homecoming chorus. The winds set the Cosanti bell ringing and rustle the budding leaves of the Southern Red Oaks in the pasture.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on February 28, 2026 at Heart Pond, this is the sound of a late winter frog chorus as dusk settles over the pasture. Sounds Southern Extended listeners can enjoy more than an hour and a half of sustained frog song, the ultimate green noise, including the final tink calls of Swamp Sparrow and Song Sparrow at the pond’s edge and the distant honks of a V of Canada Geese passing overhead as blue hour fades into evening. The chorus is led by the clucks and groans of Southern Leopard Frogs, with background calls from Spring Peepers and the steady chirp of field crickets. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on January 3, 2026 at Sardis Lake, this is the sound of waterfowl and wading birds beneath the light of the full January supermoon, also known as the Wolf Moon. Listeners will hear the quacks, burps, chitters, high whistles and deep rolling calls of courting Gadwalls, Mallards, Green-winged Teals and Hooded Mergansers, along with the harsh squawk of a passing Great Blue Heron. The water comes alive with splashing and swirling as a few hundred American White Pelicans collectively forage in the calm shallow waters near the dam’s levee wall. A distant train whistle carries across the lake while gentle waves lap the sandy shoreline, adding to the nocturnal winter soundscape. This recording is best listened to in a quiet setting.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on November 23, 2025 at Heart Place, this is the sound of the bird chorus at dawn.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on November 22, 2025 on the sleeping porch at the dogtrot, this is the sound of a perfect fall day for migrating birds. Winter species are arriving in the hill country and large flocks of Snow Geese are moving toward the Delta side of Panola County where they will overwinter on fallow farm fields and wetlands. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will hear the squeak of the porch door and my cat’s meow along with almost an hour of bird song from Blue Jay, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Carolina Chickadee, American Robin, American Goldfinch, White-throated Sparrow, Song Sparrow, American Crow, Hermit Thrush, Dark-eyed Junco, Pileated Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Cedar Waxwing, Carolina Wren, Northern Mockingbird, House Finch, Snow Geese, Killdeer, Swamp Sparrow, Red-tailed Hawk, Chipping Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler, White-breasted Nuthatch, Eastern Bluebird and Brown Thrasher.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on November 11, 2025, from the Way Out West deck, this is the sound of wind pushing out an early-season cold front that dropped temperatures below freezing for two nights. Overhead, a geomagnetic storm reached rare G4 levels, sending the aurora borealis dancing as far south as Mississippi. The wind moves through the trees, creating the soothing sound of psithurism, with the occasional dry post oak leaf skittering across the deck. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will hear the chime of the bell as I close the door to the windy night and my sweet cat Suny's meow. This recording is best enjoyed in a quiet setting.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on October 26, 2025, on the sleeping porch, this is the sound of an all-night rain moving in under a bruised, green-tinged sky. The eerie color comes from sunlight interacting with water droplets and ice particles within the storm clouds—reddish-yellow light scattering through moisture and refracting off hailstones. This rare phenomenon is most vivid near sunset, when the low angle of the sun enhances the storm’s strange, luminous hue. Listeners will hear the steady fall of rain onto the metal roof and rain drum and Sounds Southern Extended listeners will enjoy over 75 minutes of the soothing rain plus the soft squeak of the hinges as I close the porch door for the night.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on October 23, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of a breezy autumn day in the pasture.The wind rustles through the leaves of a giant Southern Red Oak in a mast year, scattering acorns below as the bright, musical trills of Allard’s Ground Crickets rise through the air. Listeners will also hear the calls of Blue Jays, American Crows, a Northern Flicker and a Red-shouldered Hawk riding the thermals above Heart Place.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on September 22, 2025, at the Belmont swamp, this is the sound of the wetlands after a rainshower. Crickets set the backdrop as Tufted Titmouse, Common Yellowthroat, American Crow, Chimney Swift, White-breasted Nuthatch, Summer Tanager, White-eyed Vireo, Northern Waterthrush, Northern Cardinal and Pileated Woodpecker call across the swamp. Raindrops kerplop from the leaves of the towering bald cypress, adding to the rhythm of the autumn sounds.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on July 8, 2025, this is the sound of a gentle rain falling on the west deck and metal roof of the dogtrot as distant thunder rolls across the river bottom. Dusk-singing cicadas pulse in the background while Ruby-throated Hummingbirds dart through the soft drizzle. The rain blankets the shiny leaves of the Blackjack Oaks and pasture grasses, as Eastern Wood-Pewee, House Finches, Indigo Bunting, Carolina Chickadee, Northern Cardinal and the steady rhythm of field crickets join the evening chorus.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on July 29, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of the night chorus of katydids, crickets and cicadas rising beneath the summer meteor showers of the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids at their peak. The recording opens with the bold, continuous trill of the robust conehead. At the 22-minute mark, the two-parted <em>zeee-dik</em> of the oblong-winged katydid cuts through the symphony of common true katydids.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on June 19, 2025, this is the sound of an ephemeral stream splashing and bubbling as it winds through the woods at the edge of a prairie remnant alive with native grasses, sedges and blooming summer wildflowers. Flowing beneath the territory of a sweet-singing Common Yellowthroat, the stream carries the rhythm of his triplet song—<em>witchety-witchety-witchety</em>—above its clear, cool water. Nearby, the layered calls of White-eyed Vireo, Indigo Bunting, Kentucky Warbler, Carolina Wren, American Crow and Mourning Dove complete the early summer soundscape.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Under a waxing gibbous moon at 98% illumination, the deep resonant calls of American Bullfrogs take the lead, joined by Cope’s Gray Treefrogs, Bird-voiced Treefrogs, Green Frogs, Southern Cricket Frogs and Fowler’s Toads.

Listeners are treated to booming, echoing, pealing thunder and the sound of rain on the Moonpie deck and in the meadow. Sounds Southern Extended subscribers get an hour of some of the season’s most dramatic thunder and the melodic rhythm of the rain drum and the return of birdsong as the storm rolls away. As the skies begin to clear, birds like the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Chipping Sparrow, Eastern Wood-Pewee, House Finch, Tufted Titmouse, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, American Robin and Blue Jay can all be heard reclaiming the skies.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on June 9, 2025 at Wall Doxey State Park, this is the sound of a vibrant frog chorus at dusk in the wet woodlands surrounding artesian Spring Creek. Synchronized fireflies—<em>Photuris frontalis</em>, also known as <em>Snappy Syncs</em>—light up the twilight in silent rhythm. The chorus features Cope’s Gray Treefrogs, Bird-voiced Treefrogs, Green Frogs and Fowler’s Toads, with the Bird-voiced Treefrog’s bell-like call (resembling the pitch and tempo of a Pileated Woodpecker) at the forefront. Crickets add their steady rhythm to the layered soundscape.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on May 4, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of a lazy spring afternoon in the wildflower meadow, with a light breeze rustling the leaves of the Blackjack oaks. At the center of the soundscape is a male Yellow-breasted Chat, showcasing his extensive vocal repertoire—whistles, cackles, mews, catcalls, chuckles, rattles, gurgles, pops and more—strung together in ever-changing combinations. Accompanying him are the Tufted Titmouse, American Crow, Northern Mockingbird, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Brown-headed Cowbird, Red-winged Blackbird, Orchard Oriole, American Robin, Summer Tanager, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Pine Warbler, House Finch, Purple Martin, Carolina Wren and Red-bellied Woodpecker.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on May 21, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of a lone Northern Mockingbird joining the nighttime chorus of crickets and frogs. Nocturnal singing is common during spring mating season and this male seizes the quiet night to both court a mate and defend his territory in a Eastern red cedar. In the still air, listeners can hear him cycle through more than a dozen mimicked songs, each phrase a borrowed echo stitched into his own performance.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on May 26, 2025, in the woods at Heart Place, this is the sound of the spring dawn chorus as a line of thunderstorms begins to move in. The gusting winds blow through the oak and pine treetops, as the rich, varied, flute-like <em>ee-oh-lay</em> and buzz-like whistle of the Wood Thrush takes center stage in the understory. Listeners will also hear the songs of the Pine Warbler, Northern Cardinal, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Carolina Wren, Tufted Titmouse, Indigo Bunting and Purple Martin. This is the sound of morning birdsong welcoming the day beneath a storm-stirred spring sky, as two Wood Thrushes countersing in the distance and wind whispering through the trees—psithurism—creates a soothing green noise, perfect for meditation.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on April 29, 2025, at the dogtrot during blue hour under a rising waxing crescent moon, this is the sound of a lone bullfrog as he begins his deep-throated serenade, signaling the start of mating season. Soon, other frogs and spring crickets join the chorus. In the distance, Canada Geese call out with their familiar good-night honks as the day slips quietly into night.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on May 7, 2025, at Belmont, this is the sound of the sundown chorus at the edge of Clear Springs swamp. After a day of thunderstorms, water drips steadily from the understory trees while the swamp birds settle in for the evening.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on May 8, 2025, at the dogtrot on the sleeping porch, this is the sound of a night wrapped in thick fog after a day of thunderstorms. The fog hangs so heavily it drips from the eaves onto the rain drum below. Crickets and frogs provide a soft, steady rhythm beneath it all. A Yellow-breasted Chat takes advantage of the muffled quiet, his voice amplified in the dense air as he sings through the night during the peak of mating season. Sounds Southern Extended subscribers can enjoy over an hour of the soothing sounds of a southern night. This recording is best enjoyed in a quiet setting.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on April 20, 2025, at Belmont, this is the sound of the dawn song in the artesian hills where fire pink wildflowers are at peak bloom. The spring waters spill into the marshy meadow and wooded swamp below, where the Prothonotary Warbler has returned to its breeding grounds and is busy establishing territory and searching for a prime nest site. Joining the morning chorus at mid-migration warbler season are the Tennessee Warbler, Hooded Warbler &amp; Swainson's Wabler, along with the Indigo Bunting, Louisiana Waterthrush, Yellow-breasted Chat, Common Yellowthroat, White-eyed &amp; Red-eyed Vireos while the fluting song of a Wood Thrush rings out from the understory. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Red-bellied &amp; Pileated Woodpeckers with their signature calls and drumming are joined by calls from the Blue Jay, Acadian Flycatcher, Northern Parula, Tufted Titmouse, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Eastern Kingbird, Northern Cardinal and Canada Goose. From the swamp’s edge, the <em>glunk</em> of a Green Frog and the sharp clicking call of Southern Cricket Frogs add texture—alongside the chattering of an Eastern Gray Squirrel echoing from the trees. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will also hear a lively hoot-off between a pair of Barred Owls as night give way to day,<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Recorded on March 16, 2025, at the dogtrot on the Way Out West Deck, this is the sound of Mississippi’s state bird in the midst of a midnight song marathon. Likely a young male searching for his first mate or an older one singing after losing his mate, the Northern Mockingbird’s song of varied phrases is joined by the barks, cackling and hoooaaaws of a Barred Owl duet.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Recorded on April 13, 2025, near Sardis Lake, this is the sound of the morning woods during the early days of warbler migration season. The mixed forest is alive with warbler song, from the Black-and-white, Kentucky, Hooded and Yellow-rumped Warblers to the star of the morning—the Cerulean Warbler—whose distinctive tune of three buzzy notes, four quick warbles and a high-pitched trill is a rare and welcome sound amid its ongoing population decline due to habitat loss. Listeners will hear the gusting winds rustling the tops of the towering white oaks (a particular favorite of the Cerulean) and additional birdcalls of the Eastern Wood-Pewee, Yellow-throated and Red-eyed Vireos, American Goldfinch, White-throated Sparrow, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, American Robin, Northern Cardinal, Tufted Titmouse, Brown-headed Cowbird, Carolina Wren and Northern Parula. The rhythmic tapping of Red-bellied, Hairy and Pileated Woodpeckers adds texture in the background. This is a layered and lively portrait of early spring in the Mississippi hill country—a soundscape of transition, movement and return.</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on March 27, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of a spring night coming to life. Fowler’s toads, just waking up for the season, call out with their raspy <em>Waaaaa</em>, joined by the high, exuberant <em>Peeeep</em> of a few spring peepers and the steady trill of Southeastern field crickets. As the night deepens, the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, known as the Dog Star, rises just above the pond on the southern horizon. This recording is best enjoyed in a quiet setting.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on March 24, 2025, at the dogtrot on the Moonpie Deck, this is the sound of a spring morning after a night of thunderstorms. As the landscape dries in the first light of day, year-round residents—including the Northern Cardinal, Chipping and White-throated Sparrow, Tufted Titmouse, Goldfinch and an array of woodpeckers (Red-bellied, Pileated, and Red-headed)—join the chorus. Their calls mingle with those of the Brown-headed Cowbird, Blue Jay, Dark-eyed Junco, Belted Kingfisher, Carolina Chickadee, Carolina Wren, Eastern Towhee, American Robin, Yellow-rumped Warbler, American Crow, Mourning Dove, Pine Warbler, Cedar Waxwing and White-breasted Nuthatch. Adding to the morning’s lively soundscape are the returning calls of Yellow-throated and White-eyed Vireos, marking their seasonal arrival in the hill country. Stealing the spotlight, a Northern Mockingbird, perched in a cedar tree in the pasture, delivers an intricate, ever-changing song to welcome the day.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on March 10, 2025, at Belmont, this is the sound of blue hour settling over the swamp at Clear Springs. Wood Ducks, paired up for the breeding season, ooeek and squeal as they glide and gracefully land between the towering water tupelos. Listeners will hear the ducks engage in ritualized drinking, preening and synchronized shakes, strengthening their bonds. A flock of White-throated Sparrows makes end-of-day chip notes from a tangle of hazel alder and Virginia sweetspire branches, their calls threading through the dusk. Beneath it all, a steady chorus of Spring Peepers plus a few Upland Chorus Frogs and Southern Leopard Frogs hum in the background, their voices rising and falling like a heartbeat, wrapping the soundscape in the pulse of early spring.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on February 26, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of an early spring evening chorus on Heart Pond. It begins with the gentle honks of Canada Geese as they prepare to depart for their roosting sites, gradually giving way to a pond alive with the rhythmic calls of Spring Peepers. Their chorus is punctuated by the occasional trill of Upland Chorus Frogs and the deep, guttural croaks of Southern Leopard Frogs, creating a rich, layered soundscape of the changing season.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on February 27, 2025, at Belmont's Clear Springs, this is the sound of a stirring frog chorus in the swamp at blue hour. Listeners will hear the calls of Spring Peepers, Upland Chorus Frogs and Southern Leopard Frogs, blended with the distinctive squeals of male Wood Ducks as pairs gather in their roosting areas for the night. Adding to the nighttime symphony, a Barred Owl pair hoots it up in tandem, their calls marking the beginning of courting season.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on February 15, 2025, in a flooded meadow overlooking Sardis Lower Lake, this is the sound of a late winter chorus of upland chorus frogs, awakened by recent rains. Steady south winds sweep across the lake, carrying the energy of an approaching storm front. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will also hear the call of a Bald Eagle and the occasional caw of American Crows riding the thermals.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on January 17, 2025, in the Tennessee River Watershed at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, this is the sound of thousands of Greater Sandhill Cranes as they move into morning feeding sites. Set in the oxbow wetlands carved by the Tennessee River along Flint Creek, between Crabtree and Dinsmore Sloughs, the recording features the Cranes' chortling and bugling as they lift off and fly over a tupelo swamp on their way to feed in nearby farm fields. From the swamp's edge are the sounds of the Canada Goose, Carolina Chickadee, Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Tufted Titmouse, Common Grackle, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay and American Crow. In the background is the distant hum of traffic from Point Mallard Parkway and the faint, mournful wail of a passing train whistle. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on January 10, 2025, at the Heart Place, this is the rare sound of snow in the hill country as Winter Storm Cora drops half a foot of snow in the pasture. You'll hear the sound of snow falling from the Way Out West Deck as winter birds including a large mixed flock of Common Grackles, Red-winged &amp; Rusty Blackbirds move from the ground to the towering blackjack oaks. Joining in on the chorus are the melodies of White-throated, Chipping &amp; Song Sparrows along with Purple, House &amp; Goldfinches, Dark-eyed Juncos and Blue Jays. This delicate recording is best appreciated in a quiet setting.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on December 17, 2024, at the dogtrot on the front porch, this is the sound of a dawn morning shrouded in Scotch mist following the previous day's rain and thunderstorms. Gentle droplets fall steadily from the roofline onto the rain drum, adding a soothing rhythm to the misty morning atmosphere. Featured prominently is a male and female Carolina Wren duet, his song and her chatter resonating through the damp morning air. Listeners will also hear a rich mix of winter residents including House Finch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, White-throated &amp; Song Sparrows, Dark-eyed Junco, Northern Cardinal and American Crow.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on November 1, 2024, at Quail Run Trail on a ridge overlooking Enid Lake, this is the sound of a lively bird chorus on a warm fall afternoon. The mixed-woods forest resonates with the calls of Carolina Wrens, Red-headed, Red-bellied &amp; Pileated Woodpeckers, Brown Creepers, Carolina Chickadees, American &amp; Fish Crows, Blue Jays and White-breasted Nuthatches. Adding to the ambiance are the vocalizations of the Eastern Gray Squirrel, often called the "cat squirrel" for its distinctive, cat-like calls.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on October 11, 2024, at Belmont's Clear Springs, this is the sound of an early fall dawn chorus in the cypress swamp. As the rising sun burns off morning fog, the birds create an oasis of sound featuring powerful drumming and the wicka wicka call of the Northern Flicker. Adding to the woodpecker descent are those large to small including Pileated, Red-bellied, Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Hairy &amp; Downy. Others in the chorus include: Red-shouldered Hawk, Belted Kingfisher, Winter Wren, Ruby-Crowned &amp; Golden-Crowned Kinglet. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will hear the classic hoot (who cooks for you, who cooks for you alll) of the Barred Owl beginning at the 20 minute mark.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on October 4, 2024 at the dogtrot on the Moonpie Deck under a bright blanket of stars and barely-there moon in a 1% waxing crescent phase, this is the sound of a bluehour chorus of crickets and katydids with distant hoo-aws of a parliment of Barred Owls calling from the woods in the nearby bottomlands. Autumn is sometimes called "the hooting season" for owl watchers because owls are staking their territories for the upcoming courting season.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on September 26, 2024, at the dogtrot on the Way Out West Deck, this is the sound of a sunrise chorus following a peak migration night, where over 6 million birds passed through Panola County en route to their wintering grounds. The recording features a beautiful duet between a male and female pair of Carolina Wrens, with his song and her chatter echoing from the goldenrod near the deck. Listeners will also hear a mix of year-round residents, alongside summer birds like the Indigo Bunting, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Summer Tanager, who will soon be headed South.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on September 13, 2024, at the backwaters of Enid Lake on Hubbard Creek, this is the sound of a rain-swelled creek babbling as it empties into a shallow marsh meadow near upland woods. Along the creekbank, buzzing pollinators visit late-blooming plants, while the ambient soundscape is filled with birdsong, crickets, katydids and croaking frogs. You’ll also hear the call of a Red-Shouldered Hawk, cawing crows, and the faint hum of a low-flying airplane overhead.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Earlier rain showers blanketed the pasture in fog, dispersing the sound, while moonlight refracted off ice crystals in thin cirrus clouds above, creating a stunning 22° halo around the harvest moon.</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Recorded on September 13, 2024, at the backwaters of Enid Lake on Hubbard Creek, this is the sound of a marsh meadow, rejuvenated by nearly 4" of rain dropped by Hurricane Francine the day before. You'll hear buzzing bees visit the late blooming plants along with birdsong, crickets, katydids and croaking frogs. Highlights include a small flock of Indigo Buntings repeating their chip call from the grasses beneath a towering bald cypress tree. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will also hear the distinct calls of Red-bellied, Pileated and Downy Woodpeckers, the gravelly kroow of a Great Egret foraging in the shallows, the high-pitched piping of Killdeer feeding along the lakeshore flats and an explosion of breeding chorus from the Southern Leopard frog  at the 17 minute mark.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
