Almost 24 hours in and I only just realized I forgot to celebrate the Equinox. I was probably too busy enjoying the bonus daylight. Happy happy, everyone!

Part 2 of a wide-ranging conversation is up on @earth-fm.bsky.social. This time we talk about swamp recording, ADHD, the value of recording, natural history, ADHD, and more.

Thanks, @melissapons.bsky.social, for another great chat!

Part 1 of a long, but delightful conversation with Mel from @earth-fm.bsky.social is out today. It started in typical interview format, but when two like-minded ADHD folks sit down to talk, all bets are off. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Nice to see you here, @oakainstruments.bsky.social!

Nighthawk On TheRooftop YouTube video by Andy Martin, Field Recordist

I’m easily entertained by Common Nighthawks. In courtship they circle overhead calling with little nasally voices, tuck their wings in, and dive in spectacular booms as air rushes through their feathers.
“Peent-peent-peent… BOOM!”

Western Meadowlark Western Meadowlark, Sturnella neglecta An abundant and widely distributed grassland bird of North America, it's a common voice in the wide open spaces in the Pacific Northwest's drier inland regions

Have a peaceful moment in your day with this Western Meadowlark w/ gorgeous echo returning from downslope. Recorded on Summer Solstice 2024. Unlike the more familiar song, this call is used to reinforce the bond of a mated pair.
