S6E10 - Nocturnal Birding (Eastern Whip-poor-will)
<p>At the end of the very first episode of this season I mentioned we’ve be coming back to the nocturnal portion of that hike, and here we are!</p> <p>This’ll be less birdsong, more talk and waiting in the quiet, I’m going to talk a bit about the Eastern Whip-poor-will. I’ll make reference to some bat sounds, but I couldn’t quite make them audible in the recording this time around. Stick around to the end for a surprise song right at the conclusion of my hike.</p> <p>eBird Checklist for the outing this was recorded during: <a href="https://ebird.org/checklist/S115082556" rel="nofollow">https://ebird.org/checklist/S115082556</a></p> <p>Download Merlin Bird ID today: <a href="https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/" rel="nofollow">https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/</a></p> <p>Credits</p> <p>Songbirding: The Allegheny National Forest is a Songbirding Studios production.</p> <p>Recorded, engineered, narrated and created by Rob Porter.</p> <p>The Songbirding cover art (Blackburnian Warbler) is by Lauren Helton: <a href="https://tinylongwing.carbonmade.com/projects/5344062" rel="nofollow">https://tinylongwing.carbonmade.com/projects/5344062</a></p> <p>Creative Commons music is from Axeltree.</p> <p>This podcast is powered by <a href="https://pinecast.com" rel="nofollow">Pinecast</a>.
