My camera has a video function that I rarely use, but yesterday I could not resist. Nevermind the video itself (I was standing in a thicket surrounded willows and Indian Hemp). What I really wanted to record was the sound. The overlying sound is the call of Western Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris triseriata). Periodically you hear a male Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) add his voice. Deep in the background are the duck-like calls of Wood Frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus). Enjoy.
Thanks Sue. I was hoping photograph at least one of the Chorus Frogs, but the little boogers shut up whenever I got too close. I never saw any of them.
What a pleasant video. Love those sounds of nature!
