      I am trying to find a way to record and post a soundscape of the sunset roar of gray tree frogs and chorus frogs in our cattails right now. It’s such a great spring sound.

    We have Boreal chorus frogs (pseudacris maculata) singing us to sleep every night. I love their happy, peaceful sound. (Neko Case included a half-hour frog chorus on her album Middle Cyclone as a bonus track. :)

    Simply stunning. You’ve captured this in all its fragile whispering beauty!
    Do you collect these bits of nature on your walks? Just curious to know…
    Thank you for visiting me, Mary. I hope you will come again.

      Yes, I take a walk in nature almost every day. These catkins, usually to high up to easily reach, were littered all over my path yesterday following a hard nighttime rain. This project has been so rewarding in the way it has heightened my senses on these daily walks. I am noticing so many things I have passed over before. And learning the names of everything is an additional bonus.
