Podcasts about grosbeak

The song of this male Black-headed Grosbeak has been described as that of a drunken or scat-singing robin. Compare the songs of both birds, and draw your own conclusion! Singing Black-headed Grosbeaks can be heard from May well into summer, especially in streamside woods.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

I've been doing soundwalks for three years now, but it feels like longer. Crane Lake Soundwalk is officially #64.I remember the day my dad told me he listened to The Beatles' “When I'm Sixty-Four” on the morning of his 64th birthday. He expressed a certain disbelief that he caught up to the song he first encountered as a twenty-year-old. He didn't feel sixty-four, he said. I even remember the day he repurchased the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album as a CD in his forties. He picked me up at Dudley's Records in downtown Portland, Oregon, and on a whim did some used CD shopping. In addition to the aforementioned Beatles, he picked up Cat Stevens' Tea for the Tillerman and James Taylor's Greatest Hits Vol. 1. Quite the haul, and ultimately not lost on me, even though I was in the thrall of New Wave. I spent my money on New Order and The Smiths. Anyway, I suppose that's just to say, time has a way of sneaking up on all of us. And it leads me to ask, as one does occasionally, how did I get here? Luckily I'd been doing some thinking on it recently and. Here is why I'm still making soundwalks: * These soundwalk environmental recordings—rendered while moving through the landscape at the human scale—possess an intimacy that a fixed position soundscape does not have. In the same way that a human photographed in front of a redwood tree helps communicate the grandeur of the tree, footsteps, and the passing of sounds in and out of the audible horizon lend dimensionality and scale. * It's so much easier to get “good tape”, when you just roll all the time.* It gets me outside. * There's room to grow. I'm getting better.Crane Lake Soundwalk is an interesting addition to the catalog. It's stimulating. There's a lot of wildlife to hear. And if you have the time to spare, you can compare this soundwalk to my debut Listening Spot release, Crane Lake Suite, made on the same day, in the same place, but from a fixed position. It does illustrate differences in the approach.It's just not every day you find yourself next to a shallow body of water roiling with carp.Now, if you just tuned in to the soundwalk without reading this, and didn't know about the carp, you might think it was me sloshing through the water, before realizing the splashes had a fishiness to them. I can imagine it being a little puzzling to the uninitiated.To get to Crane Lake you walk down a grassy lane on a seldom visited quarter of Sauvie Island, just north of Portland, Oregon.Soon enough you come to the lake. There are no official trails. Just slightly trampled lanes in the grass. Here we hear Cedar Waxwing, Black-headed Grosbeak, Tree Swallow, Song Sparrow, Western Wood Pewee, Yellow Warbler, Swainson's Thrush… We also hear the swish of grass underfoot and the cottonwoods quaking in the breeze.At the lake Great Blue Herons stand statuesque. They occasionally erupt from the grass thickets with Cretaceous croaks, ranging around for a new fishing spot. This is like a fast food drive thru for Bald Eagles. Easy pickings in the shallow lake.Juveniles have dark head feathers. They remain silent for the duration of my visit. You will, however, hear a Stellar's Jay mimic a Red-tailed hawk call (28:20). The Red-tailed Hawk call has long been a stand-in for an eagle call in Hollywood movie sound design. Fine sheets of rain fall in waves. The drops sound like little pin pricks, falling on the brim of my recording hat. I walk along the western perimeter of the lake on a little lane. Gentle sounds abound. I walk slowly. This is not the oldest composition I'm sharing this year, but it was tracked a year ago. It's a little surprising to me that I've stuck with a lot of these instrument voices since then. My general drift, I would say, is toward a more electrified palette. But finding the electric sounds that are expressive is time consuming, so I guess it makes sense that when I find a few, I'm going to use them for a while. That's about all I have to say about this one. I hope it adds a little something to your corner of the world.

This is who we hear at the top of our soundwalk: The Black-headed Grosbeak.They say it sounds like an operatic American Robin. I can't say I disagree. Its phrases rise and fall with ebullient fluidity.This week we are back in Forest Park, in my hometown, Portland, Oregon. It's the subject of a multifaceted series that is spooling out across all my music pseudonyms throughout the year, and probably into the next here on Substack and on music streaming services. So far we've been introduced to Forest Park Rain Suite I & II, The Wildwood Trail in Sound and Vision, and last week's Ancient Forest Suite. This week it's Forest Melody Suite.The first thing I notice is that this breaks the rule I set for Listening Spot releases: no pianos leading the way. Forest Melody Suite has a Wurlitzer electric piano front and center through the whole 17 minute runtime. I love the deep tone of this particular electric piano, and I love the punctuated, syllabic structure of a phrase played on a piano. Maybe hearing all the melodic birdsong made it irresistible to reach for it. Or maybe it was just easier to start with. Honestly, I don't remember. It was the path of least resistance, one way or another.The environmental audio we hear was recorded in the Miller Creek watershed on the quiet northern side of Forest Park; definitely a top spot for migratory birds in the vast park. Here you'll find a healthy fish-bearing creek (the only one in the park to host salmonids) and complex structure in the forest canopy. I kinda took Forest Park for granted, growing up in Portland. But it really is something special! We hear plenty of Pacific Wren, Wilson's Warbler, Cordilleran Flycatcher, Downy Woodpecker, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Song Sparrow and some tricky-to-ID baby birds too. The scene was positively alive.Thanks for being here; for listening and reading. Ancient Forest Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, May 30th. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chadcrouch.substack.com/subscribe

The environmental recording for Forest Park Rain suite was recorded about a year ago on the quiet northern side of Forest Park, here in Portland Oregon. It was a rainy day interspersed with sun breaks. Many migratory birds had buy then taken up residence here. Among them, Black-headed Grosbeak, Wilson's Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, and Hammond's Flycatcher. Deer can also be heard moving among downed branches. I love the acoustics of the forest slope where this was captured. I love the soft rain sounds. Like all Listening Spot compositions, this one leans into atmospherics and emphasizes melody. Loping, synthesizer phrases are layered with vibrato synth pads and various soft, shimmering sounds. I've spoken a little bit about Forest Park in the past, but I've spent some time reacquainting myself with its trails over the last month. In particular, the 30-mile-long Wildwood trail that traverses the park from north to south. In the Spring of 1999 I hiked the entire trail (slightly shorter, then) in one day. A quarter century later I had the urge to complete it again, but not all at once, I'll be sharing the fruits of that soon! Til then, thanks again for your interest; for reading and listening along. I'm grateful for you. Forest Park Rain Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, April 11th. Forest Park Rain Suite II will land next Friday, April 18th. This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comTime now for Listening Spot. This is the third effort filed under the self-describing pseudonym, with the recipe being a long field recording accompanied by a number of musical movements comprising a greater whole. Put simply, it's just meant to be more dreamy. For this outing we have left the Columbia River, and the Wapato Valley (aka Portland Basin), where we have settled in for a few months. (But barely, we're not officially done here. There's two more installments over the next two weeks.) Oaks Bottom is a mixed wetland on the Willamette River in Portland, about 10 river miles from the Columbia confluence, and the southern edge of Wapato Valley. In some ways it approximates what the Columbia shorelines would have looked like 100 years ago: marshy wonderlands where cottonwood trees thrive. Oaks Bottom was my go-to destination for many years. I became quite familiar with the soundscape over time. I can usually identify the wildlife there by ear. If listening back to a recording I can tell you what season it was made, down to the month. My favorite season: Spring. It's the best. In this recording we hear the Black-headed Grosbeak. Instantly, that places it in the likely realm of May or June. The sound of the cottonwood trees is another hint. In May, the leaves are young and pliant. By June they are big and broad, clattering in the breezes. Here is an excellent video on the sound of Cottonwood leaves.Even in winter cottonwood leaves continue have their own sound—underfoot. Where other leaves—maples for example—now have the consistency of tissue paper on the moist ground, cottonwoods scrape against each other like coated cardstock valentines. Scrunch, scrunch. Scriff, Skrich.I think that's it for this one. Cottonwoods Suite is available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube…) Friday, December 6th. I hope you can spend some quiet time with it.

Dr. Clinton Francis is a sensory ecologist who studies how noise pollution affects birds, like this Black-headed Grosbeak. He says sounds from machines and vehicles can really disrupt bird behavior. Although birds rely on hearing to sense predators and prey, and to find mates, their sense of hearing isn't very good, making them very sensitive to noise pollution from machines and vehicles. Fortunately, there are many ways to help birds by reducing noise pollution.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

A look into the life of the Evening Grosbeak, a large boreal finch that is a welcome guest at any bird feeder.

A late Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Rose-breasted Grosbeak? More record-breaking numbers of Blue Jays? Flamingos in Wisconsin? This month is already on track to be an outlier. *CORRECTION* A newspaper article that I consulted got the name of the St. Marks NWR flamingo wrong, but I didn't discover this until I'd recorded the program. The name is not Phineas Phlamingo but Pinky. Also, the bird turned up there after Hurricane Michael in 2018, not in 2019.

In summer, many shrubs bear fruit that birds find irresistible. Elderberries, serviceberries, blackberries, dogwood berries, mulberries, and currants attract many species of birds, including waxwings, tanagers, robins, warblers and this Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Plants offer this bounty in exchange for birds' help in distributing their seeds. And in dispersing pollen, birds, bats and insects also help to guarantee a new crop of berries!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Thisrollicking song belongs to a Black-headed Grosbeak. Like most birds, the malegrosbeak begins singing in earnest a few days after reaching his traditionalnesting grounds in spring.And,like most birds, he sings frequently when trying to attract a mate. He'll singa bit less while he and his mate incubate eggs, but pick up the pace againafter the young hatch. By late summer, his singing will cease.Everwonder how much a bird sings in one day? Some patient observers have shown thata typical songbird belts out its song between 1,000 and 2,500 times per day.Even though most bird songs last only a few seconds, that's a lot of warbling!Onnights with a full moon, male Sage Thrashers have been known to proclaim theirlong-winded songs all night. But the North American record-holder may well bethe Red-eyed Vireo. One such vireo delivered its short song over 22,000 timesin ten hours!

In this episode I share a precious moment with the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and my emotional farewell.

Bright spring visitor

Bright spring visitor

Evening grosbeaks are colorful members of the finch family. They got their name not because they are the color of the setting sun, but because English settlers thought the birds only came out of the woods to sing at sundown. French settlers reportedly gave them the more accurate name of le gros-bec errant, the wandering grosbeak. These bright birds travel widely toward the best winter food sources in movements known as “irruptions.”

Sukkulenter er planter, som du helt sikkert kender – f.eks. Aloe vera. Ligesom næsten alle arter af kaktus, er sukkulenter. Der er altså ikke tale om én art – men om en slags evolutionært udviklet 'funktion'.  Nysgerrig? Så lyt med, når Louise Isager Ahl underholdende fortæller...Sukkulenter har udviklet sig uafhængigt af hinanden på forskellige dele af 'stamtræet'. Dvs. de er et eksempel på konvergent udvikling.  Men samlet gælder, at for at passe på vandet, har de forskellige  arter udviklet en evne til at lagre vand. Hvilket har givet dem øgede overlevelsesmuligheder i områder med begrænset (fersk)vand... Sukkulenter vokser nemlig naturligt i bl.a. ørkenagtig vegetation. Men der er også nogle få arter i Danmark – f.eks. de  små og urteagtige (blad)sukkulenter i stenurt familien. Ordet sukkulent stammer for øvrigt fra latin: suc(c)ulentus, der betyder "fuld af saft" – afledt af suc(c)us , som betyder "saft".  Tjek også dette link om Aloe,  hvis du vil vide meget mere som denne art... Podcastens fantastiske fuglelyde (og utallige andre!) kan du finde på: Xeno-canto. Her er der optagelser af fugle fra hele verden. Det gælder også Arabian Golden-winged Grosbeak, den Sydafrikanske Natravn  samt Mexicospadenæb , som er med i podcasten – og mange, mange flere...Musik: Apocalyptic Anthem (med Catalyst & Humanfobia),  Moving silence (med  Gotama) og Balloon Waltz Memory (med Dana Boulé).Også denne podcast er produceret af Nalle Kirkvåg  – på vegne af socialøkonomiske  Polykrom Media.

The rose-breasted grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus), colloquially called "cut-throat" due to its coloration, is a large, seed-eating grosbeak in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). It is primarily a foliage gleaner.[4] Males have black heads, wings, backs, and tails, and a bright rose colored patch on their white breast. Males and females exhibit marked sexual dimorphism.Breeding habitat consists of cool-temperate open deciduous woods throughout much of eastern North America, with migration to tropical America in winter.

Science educator Chidi Paige was working hard preparing her students for the World Series of Birding. Chidi's students were studying with the goal of identifying the most birds in the kid's competition. And then something happened that made Chidi wonder if they were thinking about birds a little too much: one of the students began seeing a Rose-breasted Grosbeak in her dreams. The dream ended up having unexpected relevance in the competition. Learn more at BirdNote.org.

2022 appears to be a good year for seeing Pine Grosbeaks, reminding Laura of why she loves this beautiful bird.

This was a banner year for Evening Grosbeaks in many places, including Laura's yard.

This Band-tailed Pigeon may sound like an owl, but it's a case of mistaken identity. The song of the American Robin could be confused with that of the Black-headed Grosbeak. And then, there's the Black-capped Chickadee. At certain times of year, the male sings "Fee-bee, fee-bee," even though it's not a phoebe.

Dimwitted Grosbeak by 102.9 The Hog

Today Nate & Evan go birding with David Yeany, Avian Ecologist for the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP) at the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC). David has been studying winter movements of Evening Grosbeaks in the Allegheny National Forest (ANF) for the past few years. We discuss the 5 major questions in his study.why do evening grosbeaks keep returning to this area? Do they have true site fidelity? Where do these irruptive populations return to nest? How far and wide do they roam throughout the regional landscape during winter? What can we learn about the timing of their movements? Additionally we get to know exactly how David is tracking these migrants through North America using the MOTUS and nanotags. In this amazing irruptive year for Evening Grosbeaks, we think you will really enjoy the insight David provides on this beautiful species of birds.BIODavid Yeany II serves as Avian Ecologist for the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP) at the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC). David joined WPC in 2011 and has 16 years of professional experience in conservation biology, conducting ornithological studies throughout Maryland and Pennsylvania. His current work includes avian ecology and monitoring, wildlife-habitat relationship studies, mapping important habitats for rare species, spatial analysis in GIS, and conservation projects for Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), particularly birds. Some of his projects included shale gas impacts assessments on forest interior birds, bird habitat relationships in the PA Wilds region, statewide high elevation peatland bird surveys and monitoring, statewide grassland bird SGCN surveys, co-founding the Allegheny Bird Conservation Alliance, and collaborating on tracking studies of wintering evening grosbeaks and breeding Swainson’s thrush using nanotag technology and the Motus Wildlife Tracking System. David represents the Natural Heritage Program on the Pennsylvania Biological Survey (PABS) Ornithological Technical Committee. He also has been an active member of the Pennsylvania Ornithological Society since 2012, and during fall 2019, David was elected to the PSO Board of Directors. In 2020, he was elected to a three-year term on the Pennsylvania Ornithological Records Committee (PORC). Prior to joining WPC, David was the Important Bird Areas Coordinator for Audubon Maryland-DC, where he helped identify critical bird habitats, developed conservation strategies for IBAs, and conducted monitoring for at-risk bird populations. In Maryland, his projects included extensive marsh bird surveys in coastal areas of the Chesapeake Bay and Delmarva Peninsula, wintering waterfowl research, forest restoration bird monitoring, and targeted surveys of rare bird species.

Laura's New Year's wish is to see lots of Evening Grosbeaks this year. We're in the midst of a "finch superflight," but Evening Grosbeaks have been few and far between in Duluth. Laura talks about why.

“Being outside is really important for our mental and physical health. Birding is a great way to get out and see something new. I really love getting into the stories of how I find some of these crazy rare birds or unusual birds because it's really about the adventure. And because birds fly, you never know what you're going to get.” – Matt Felperin Today’s episode comes with a warning - you may get hooked. Birding has recently surged in popularity as people crave safe engagement with nature. Matt Felperin, Nova Park’s Roving Naturalist, describes the adventure in birding, including exploring habitats, discovering new species, chasing rarities and simply finding joy and respite in birds. Matt also discusses an increasing diversity in the hobby, conservation, community science, and how to get started identifying the birds in your backyard. And yes, we also talk about Virginia’s very rare (and super adorable) avian celebrity from Greenland that has everyone in a frenzy.

Species you might be able to hear include: White-throated Sparrow, American Bittern, Common Yellowthroat, Swamp Sparrow, Veery, Ruffed Grouse, Spring peeper, American toad, American Robin, Common Loon, North American beaver, Song Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Canada Goose, Mallard, Hermit Thrush, Gray tree frog, Nashville Warbler, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Wear headphones for the best listening experience. Enjoy! This recording was made while working on the 'Voices of a Flyway' project. Recordings were made under permits issued by the park and for the purpose of science and education.

Every now and then, don’t you just want to belt it out? Imagine singing like a Black-headed Grosbeak! Or what about a Carolina Wren? Picture warbling like a House Finch. All this just too rambunctious for you? The call of the American Bittern more your style? Or this Yellow-headed Blackbird? Maybe

Harry Hutchins joins John Latimer and Heidi Holtan on Tuesday mornings for A Talk on the Wildside. This week Harry brings us singing birds with calls that are similar to that of the robin. Harry and John compare the robins call with that of the rose-breasted grosbeak, the red-eyed vireo and the scarlet tanager. You can hear the singing birds and lively conversation by clicking below. There are great apps to help you identify birds including MERLIN from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Audobon Bird Guide app .

This episode concludes the second chapter of Wake-Robin, by John Burroughs. Lounging on a couch of moss in the shady woods, the gentleman rambler and naturalist allows his attention to wander from species to species. He points out the the Ruby-throated Hummingbird and the song of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Scarlet Tanager. He marvels at...

The willow thickets are particularly dense along this section of the Center Patrol Road. Although they block the view of the river and certain fields, they host a wonderful variety of migratory songbirds, including warblers, flycatchers, sparrows, vireos, and finches. Black-headed Grosbeak, Yellow Warbler, and Willow Flycatcher typically nest in this habitat. A banding project here revealed that one Willow Flycatcher had successfully made its annual round-trip to Central America ten times, returning to the exact same spot to nest each summer. Not bad for a six-inch bird weighing less than an ounce! This discovery changed our understanding of this species’ life expectancy, and it emphasized the importance of banding birds. It also heightened our awareness that conservation must transcend political borders. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/malheurfriends/support

In Spring, Vermont is awash with migrant birds; sadly, we don't see many species in the Winter. However, there are occasional irruption migrations as birds come from the north in search of shriveled fruit and seeds. Many of these winter arrivals are various species of finches including the Pine Grosbeak.
