Learning to Bird by Ear. Come with me as I learn to bird by ear. I created this podcast to help me learn how to identify birds by the sounds they make. So if you want to learn how to bird by ear too come along and lets learn some bird sounds together. I will focus specifically on birds that live commonly in my area, which is northern Utah.

    That's right today we are listening to the somewhat grating sounds of SeaGulls, aka Gulls. Most of my information came from these two blog posts:  https://earbirding.com/blog/archives/4538 https://earbirding.com/blog/archives/3994   We divide gulls into four groups, based on their long calls: High Yelpers represented by the Herring Gull (6:30), Low yelpers represented by California Gulls (7:45) Slow Squealers represented by the Ring-Billed gull (9:02) and Nasal represented by Franklin's Gull (10:30).    Feel free to email me at birdingbyearpodcast@gmail.com or through Facebook at BirdingByEarPodcast.  Other helpful links include: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/ https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/peterson-field-guide-to-bird-sounds/ https://xeno-canto.org/ Music is Called Good Thoughts by Diana Taylor from https://taketones.com/track/good-thoughts
