It's mid-morning at the end of May, 2025. Along the fast-flowing Moose Creek in the Jumpingpound Demonstration Day Use Area the Lincon's Sparrows and White-throated Sparrows sing loudly while the Ruby-crowned Kinglets pass through. As time passes, Pine Siskin, American Robins, and even a few Golden-crowned Kinglets make their way through.

Recorded May 31, 2025 by Rob Porter.

It's 4°C (39 °F) and 5:40am on June 5, 2024 and the American Robins and a Northern Cardinal start off the morning. As time progresses, a number of bird species add their voices: Winter Wren, Dark-eyed Junco, Blackburnian Warbler, Ovenbird, Blue Jay, and towards the end of our soundscape, the Tufted Titmouse.

The trees are damp with an overnight rain, and with each gust of wind "rain" falls from the trees to the ground. Red-eyed Vireos, Eastern Wood-Pewees, and Ovenbirds sing while Blue Jays call and a quiet and mysterious Eastern Screech-Owl makes rare daytime vocalizations.

Recorded on a Zoom F3 field recorder with a matched pair of SO.1 microphones at Ruigrok Tract, Haldimand County, Ontario on May 26, 2024.
