I have been excited about Song Sparrows (Melospiza melodia) for a while. Theirs was one of the first complex songs I learned to identify, and being such a common neighbour on the landscape it's hard to go a few days without hearing them, even in Winter, but especially in the Spring.While out today, I came across a couple Song Sparrow tracks in the silt newly laid down by the receding Eramosa River flood waters and it pricked my interest to dig in a little deeper to this common figure in my life.

This guided meditation led by Julie Potiker focuses on goodness - as you breathe in and out. She completes the meditation with her poem, "February 11th, 2025".February 11th, 2025, by Julie Potiker.Rain is coming, there's a damp chill as I zip my down jacket, tuck my slippered feet under me in my favorite listening chair under the eaves.Bewick Wrens, tail up, are chirping and trilling in the green leafy branches of the carob trees. When one drops down onto the bricks, I get a close look of his plump little body. I'd love to hold him in my upturned palm.Orange Crowned Warbler gives me the same maternal pang. I'm watching a small one flick leaves off the branches, hearing the thwack as leaf hits bricks.Song Sparrow and House Finch are close - perhaps in the trees near the empty feeders. I've paused their food on the recommendation of experts to minimize the risk of bird flu. The white plastic seed container with the twist on lid sits untouched on the stone counter, surrounded by a dozen Mexican limes that let go from the tree above.Spotted Towhee takes over the airwaves as it begins to drizzle. It's a sound unmistakably his, a sort of twisted croak/trill.Coffee cold now, I duck inside for a fresh hot brew.-February 11, 2025, by Julie PotikerFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

To celebrate the season, Nancy Rumbel, who composed and played the BirdNote theme music, performs "Carol of the Birds." This version was arranged by Nancy herself, with the accompaniment of Pine Siskins, Black-capped Chickadees, a Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow, House Finch, American Goldfinch, and Mourning Dove. Nancy plays the ocarina, oboe, bell, and harmonium. You can visit her website at nancyrumbel.com. Happy Holidays from all of us at BirdNote!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Put your winter garden to work as a haven for birds. Leaves and brush left to compost provide foraging and roosting places, smother this year's weeds, and feed next spring's plant growth. Watch for juncos and towhees in the leaf litter and wrens in the brush. Maybe even a Song Sparrow!

When the light begins to break, songbirds sing their happy calls of gratitude that Morning has Broken, reminding us of the lyrics to the song Cat Stevens made famous. American Robins are among the first birds to lay eggs in the spring and, therefore, are considered a symbol of renewal and new beginnings. In this episode I share how the sadness of baby robins that didn't survive turned into a happy story of a successful Song Sparrow nest passing the nesting spot off to the Robin Family. I hope you enjoy the story. Related Stories & Helpful Links:Song Sparrow meets Robin – Link to Come Ep16.

The Song Sparrow is perfectly named, having a tune that tops the charts on Alberta summer soundtrack every May. And even though most Albertan know nothing of the singer, they know that the song means that spring is here again and so too is one of the most musical of our Birds of Alberta. Hosted on Acast.

Brad gets a tease of spring with a Song Sparrow, I am hoping to try new ideas on the beach, and we both talk about the business of wildlife photography from a listener question. Kristin Olson asks: It might not be as fun as some, but it would be really helpful to hear about the business side of creating/having a small photography business and everything that goes into that. How to set up selling prints with shops through ones website. Stock photography sales. Creating a presence.
Before we see or feel spring, we often hear it first — in the testimony of a Red-winged Blackbird, the energy of a Song Sparrow, or the serenade of an American Robin. But across much of North America, an earlier sign of spring is the return of Turkey Vultures. In the U.S., you may see them as early as February or March. Unlike most of our returning birds, which migrate at night, Turkey Vultures migrate like hawks — in the daytime. They rise on warm spring updrafts, with a distinctive teeter from side to side. And then they glide — northbound.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Sign up for BirdNote+ to get ad-free listening and other perks.

In this meditation you will focus on a golden healing light filling your body with joy and awareness. Julie Potiker completes this guided meditation with her poem, "Morning Light" .Morning Time, by Julie Potiker I am busy From the outside I might not appear as such Yet I dedicate this time to me.This precious timeWhen the house hums it's mechanical hum, that sounds sometimes like a musical track is embedded in the low staticBirdsong fills my ears The Wrens soprano 1 and soprano 2 are joined by the Spotted Towhee, whose croaking tune my ear recognizes instantly now, like turning a doorknob in my mind.The Song Sparrow is aptly named, and I'm instantly cheered that it too, is here.There can be more and more, all included, none denied I'm thinking as a Mourning Dove layers it's low cooing into the loop. They have all the time in the world.This cherished timeWhich is anything but quietIs noisy in all the best ways.My mug feels warm in my cupped handsI feel my heart beating it's low slow rhythm in my chestMy back and hips are comfortably supported in my favorite chair, it's cane frame and soft cushion welcoming me each morning.Picking up a book of poemsI'm filled with love that humans arrange words for each other across timeHumans gift one another these linesBorn from treasured timeJust like this.-Morning Time, by Julie Potiker.

The way that some birds flick, wag, or flare their tails can be distinctive. A flicking or flashing tail might suggest to a predator that a bird is particularly alert or hard to catch, while also warning others in the flock of danger. Tail flicking can also help flush out prey. A Hooded Warbler -- or a Song Sparrow, like this one -- may flare its tail while foraging low to the ground to cause insects to jump, making them easier prey.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Heidi Hoelting, a musician, listens carefully to the songs of birds. In her piano studio at her home in the woods, she wrote down several variations of the different sounds a Song Sparrow makes. In this BirdNote, Nancy Rumbel plays some of those variations on a bamboo whistle. Listen to all thirteen variations, as played by Nancy.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

To help backyard birds through the winter, do less. Leave the leaves or rake them under plantings. The tasty insects and spiders underneath will be food for the towhee and this Song Sparrow. Don't deadhead. Pine Siskins and goldfinches love to snack on dead flowerheads. Make an insect hotel out of natural objects, flower pots, or other “found” items to create hidey holes for insects. They will become food for wrens and other birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

I have been tracking Deer Mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) a lot lately, and trying to learn a little bit more about them through their tracks and all the questions that come up. What are they eating right now? How can I tell them apart from Voles and Shrews? How many live together in the Winter? Who ate this one's brains? You know, the usual. I have also been looking at bird tracks a bunch, especially in this past week, when I noticed a Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) feeding on the withered stalk of an uncertain forb on the side of a new gravel road near where I work. It was fun to go and see the work the Song Sparrow had done, and wonder at all the debris that remained. Who knew there'd be so much to look at and wonder about? Tracking is an interspecies pedagogy. We learn from the animals in the field, or from other humans who have learned about them and written out what they have learned. I am full of gratitude for all the life that the snow reveals and for the gift of tracks from the animals who leave them.

Few backyard birds in North America are more widespread than the Song Sparrow. But it was the study of this seemingly unremarkable bird that helped shape modern ornithology. In 1928, Margaret Morse Nice began carefully observing Song Sparrows near Columbus, Ohio, where she lived. For eight years, Nice banded and made detailed accounts of the birds' lives and behavior. The emphasis on bird behavior — and painstaking observation of living birds in the wild — helped shift the focus away from collection, description, and distribution. And it all started with that little brown bird with the melodious song. Learn more at BirdNote.org.

Our guest today is Jenna Rudolph who is the founder of Soaring Eagle Nature School. www.soaringeaglenatureschool.org Today's episode is sponsored by Wilderness Awareness School. They are committed to helping children and adults establish healthy relationships with nature, community, and self. They offer a variety of programs in the foothills of the Cascades, outside of Seattle.Their 9-month immersion program is a transformative experience for adults, covering everything from self-discovery to survival skills. You can also learn to become a Coyote Mentor, their signature art of mentoring children in nature with their 9-month Nature Instructor Training. Wilderness Awareness School also runs workshops and intensives, youth programs, and the Kamana Independent Naturalist Study Program. Learn more today at wildernessawareness.org. We begin our conversation by talking about birds and bird language. Jenna recommends choosing 5 local birds and learn their songs, habitats, and what they like to eat. It's a good idea to select ground feeders so that you're more likely to see them. We tackle many questions together:Birds: How can we observe and use bird behaviour to tell us what's happening in our environment? What do bird songs tell us? What about their alarm call? Do birds of different species communicate with one another? What is the relationship between food sources and locations of specific bird species throughout the year? What are the 5 types of bird language?Did you know we can hear better when our ears are off-center? Tilt your head and you can hear better. A lesson we can learn from our local American Robins. Local BC Birds: American Robin, Pacific Wren, Spotted Towhee, Dark Eyed Junco, Song Sparrow. They stay here on the coast all year round. Plants: How can we get our learners more excited to learn about our local plants? What patterns do you see? Which plants produce fruit? Jenna shares an example of using a string of questions to use alongside her learners to help them observe different parts of plants to help identify it. Local BC Plants: Dandelion, Plantain, Salmonberry, Blackberry Novelty Nature Note:Jenna shared her favourite forest tea recipe to make with her learners:western hemlock needles, douglas fir needles, licorice fern (sweetness!) and salal leaves. Boil and sit for 5 minutes. I shared about thimbleberries. When you pick the red fruit, it leaves behind a core which looks like a thimble. Hence the name J

The Song Sparrow is a small stripped sparrow with a big personality, found across North America in fields, meadows, marshes, and sometimes in backyards. Hi! My name is Rob. I’m a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I’ve been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club. In the last few years I’ve also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I’ve built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we’ve recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We’ve also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.

"In our present age of massive climate disruption, we are seeing signs that should move us to healthy fear, to name our corporate sin and turn with renewed attention to the ways of the Creator God, who, as the psalmist sees, models careful, daily tending of the earth on which all life depends."What corporate sins does our culture need to name and repent from in order to tend the earth on which all life depends?//Psalm 65:3, 8, 12-13Misdeeds – they are stronger than I am; our transgressions –it is You [God] who atone for them.Those who inhabit the ends of the earthfeel fear at Your signs;the reaches of morning and evening You make ring with joy.The pastures of the wilderness are dripping,and the hills are girdled with joy.The meadows are clothed with the flocks,and the valleys robed in grain.They shout out; they even sing.//This episode was written and recorded by Dr. Ellen Davis.

Once fledged from the nest, juvenile Red-tailed Hawks still require regular feeding by the parents. As you will hear in this soundscape, they are not subtle! Also heard in this soundscape: Indigo Bunting, Song Sparrow, Field Sparrow, American Goldfinch, Tree Swallow, American Robin, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and more.Audio editing by Rob Porter.For more information, see http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
The Eastern Meadowlark is typically found at agricultural sites throughout southern Ontario, but can sometimes be found at large open parkland in urban areas.In this soundscape you'll hear both the song and "rattle" call of the Eastern Meadowlark. In the background you'll hear various species such as Red-winged Blackbird, Savannah Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Cedar Waxwing, Common Grackle, Northern Flicker, Chipping Sparrow, American Goldfinch, Yellow Warbler, an unknown woodpecker species pecking away at a tree, and a brief cameo by the elusive Orchard Oriole.Recorded on June 23, 2019 at the Elam Martin Farmstead in RIM Park, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada with an iPhone 6S and Edutige EIM-001 microphone.Audio recording and editing by Rob Porter.For more information, see http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
Together the Blue-winged Warbler and Golden-winged Warbler form a species complex that isn't fully understood. Each species can breed with the other, and produce offspring hybrids that themselves can produce further offspring, leading to all kinds of variations in plumage. This unfortunately has lead to a competition that the Blue-winged Warbler is winning: it is "breeding out" the Golden-winged Warbler throughout much of its traditional range.In this part we hear the Blue-winged Warbler's respiratory-sounding "Bee-buzzzzz" song, which sounds more like buzzing than warbling.This soundscape was recorded at McMaster Forest in Hamilton, Ontario on May 11, 2019.Heard in this recording are: Blue-winged Warbler, Gray Catbird, Yellow Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Field Sparrow, American Goldfinch, Ovenbird, Song Sparrow, and more.Audio editing: Doug Welch, Rob PorterAudio sourced from the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club.For more information, see http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes

General George Wright led some of the earliest troops in settling the West. It is not certain whether Wright actually visited the Blitzen Valley, but in 1865 he died in a shipwreck off the California coast. His name is memorialized in at least two notable Harney County landmarks: Wright’s Point on Highway 205 and Wright’s Pond, which is before you now. The Blitzen River flows northward from Steens Mountain to Malheur Lake, making Wright’s Pond one of the last ponds to receive water in the spring. From May to October, however, the pond supports a broad diversity of herons, ducks, and grebes. Watch for Black Terns flying low over the water to catch insects, and listen for some very vocal marsh-nesting songbirds, such as the Common Yellowthroat, Marsh Wren, and Red-winged and Yellow-headed Blackbirds. From fall through spring, search the dried marsh vegetation for resident Song Sparrow. Northern Harriers hunt low over the marsh and grasslands throughout the year. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/malheurfriends/support
The Northern Waterthrush arrives late April in the Hamilton area, preferring swampy forested habitat. Its song is described as a loud and ringing warble, that accelerates into a jumble of quick notes. For the trained ear, it is similar to the related Yellow Warbler.This soundscape is derived from recordings made in the morning of April 25, 2019 at Hayesland Swamp Nature Sanctuary, Flamborough, Ontario.You will hear: American Robin, Northern Waterthrush, Wild Turkey, Song Sparrow, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, American Crow, White-breasted Nuthatch, Black-capped Chickadee, Brown Creeper, Red-winged Blackbird, Brown-headed Cowbird, Rusty Blackbird (very briefly), Northern Flicker, Canada Goose.Audio editing: Rob PorterAudio sourced from the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club.For more information, see http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
In 2019, the Hamilton Naturalists' Club acquired a new property in the Upper Hayesland Swamp, known now as the Hayesland Swamp Nature Sanctuary. It is a flooded forest in the spring, providing habitat to many wetland wildlife species.This soundscape opens with harsh song of the wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus), and as the morning progresses the soft and airy songs of the Winter Wren and Brown Creeper are heard. A lone Wood Duck makes a "splash" part way through.You will hear: Wood frog, chorus frog (background), Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, Song Sparrow, Wood Duck.Taken from recordings of the morning of April 9, 2019.Audio editing: Rob PorterAudio sourced from the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club.For more information, visit http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
A short recording that includes the song of the Eastern Whip-poor-will. This species is now only heard and seen in the Hamilton area during migration, as the local breeding populations have all collapsed. To hear one sing, you need to be up at night or at dawn during the brief migration window as they are a nocturnal bird.This song was a pleasant surprise discovery in our recordings. This recording begins at 5:41 a.m., April 24, 2019 at McMaster Forest in Ancaster, Ontario.Heard singing, calling, or both in this recording: Eastern Whip-poor-will, American Woodcock, Song Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Field Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, Black-capped Chickadee.Editing by Doug Welch and Rob Porter.Audio sourced from the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club.For more information, visit http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
This urban recording begins at dawn with the wind-down of the outlandish nocturnal mating calls ("peents") and display of the American Woodcock. Next comes the Song Sparrow and Northern Cardinal as the light grows. Finally, the Field Sparrows and Eastern Towhee begin their songs. Of the songbirds of the Hamilton area, these represent a mix of early migrants and year-round resident species.This soundscape was edited from recordings of the morning of April 10, 2019 at McMaster Forest in Ancaster, Ontario. This was the very first day the Eastern Towhee was heard singing at McMaster Forest on recording, which presumably means this species arrived overnight as a nocturnal migrant from more southern climes.Note that this location is urban, located between the communities of Dundas, Ancaster, and West Hamilton. The most prominent anthropogenic background noise is the 403 Highway and nearby train line. This soundscape has been lightly edited to reduce this noise.Heard singing, calling, or both in this episode: American Woodcock, Song Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Field Sparrow, Eastern Towhee, Carolina Wren, American Crow, Canada Goose, American Goldfinch, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Common Grackle, Ring-billed Gull, Red-winged Blackbird.Audio editing by Rob PorterAudio sourced from the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club. More specifically, this recording comes from one continuous recording started early March going through mid-May to capture the arrival dates of breeding songbirds.For more information, visit http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
Birds can be most abundant along "edge" habitats--between one discrete habitat and another. Here you will hear a mix of urban birds--Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove--along with the boreal species Yellow-rumped Warbler and a lakeside Song Sparrow. This soundscape was recorded close to a small road that divides ancient cedar forest from lake in a cottage setting.Recorded at Isthmus Bay, Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada in July 2018.Audio editing: Rob PorterAudio sourced from the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club.For more information, see http://hamiltonnature.org/songscapes
A continuous soundscape of morning field recordings from the Vinemount Meadows Nature Sanctuary in Vinemount, Ontario, Canada on April 7, 2019.

Anyone familiar with Abstract Expressionism will tell you that this art movement was one where all the insiders or practitioners were more closely involved than many other art movements. Such close confines also made for some serious rivalries, too. But there were other artists who were more intimately involved with one another and their artistic process-- they were married, or were lovers. Such is the case with both Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning --both of whom married women who were incredible artists in their own right. Interestingly, and sadly, when these two spouses are mentioned, it’s very rare that we are treated to sincere commentary just about their works of art. More often than not, we are, instead, given explanations of how these women measure up to their (admittedly more famous) husbands, and are relegated either to a supporting role, or just plain seen as not good enough in comparison. Why is it that such talented women continue to have their posthumous careers and stories marked and shaped by their husbands? Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts!
