S6E14 - Evening Climb along Deer Lick Run, Part 2 (Wood Thrush)

[00:00:00] PUROLAY D

[00:00:25] Pierrot-le-dee.

[00:00:29] Pierrot-le-dee.

[00:00:33] Pierrot-le-dee.

[00:00:37] The woodthrush has a slow, flute-like melody. It is the quintessential relaxed, chilled-sounding

[00:00:43] birdsong. And in my experience, this is a species that stands out more in the evening.

[00:00:48] Not necessarily because it is more active leading up to dusk, but because it's just as active as any other time of day.

[00:01:19] My name is Rob, and this is Songbirding.

[00:01:41] We're gonna start hitting downhill.

[00:01:44] Let's see how many hermit thrushes we hear.

[00:01:52] Seems like it's gonna be a lot of them.

[00:02:44] Oh, so far.

[00:02:50] This is all dominated by hermit thrushes.

[00:02:52] Oh, so far. This is all dominated by hermit thrushes. So until I hear something different, I think we might just quietly walk and listen to

[00:03:12] hermit thrush. Oh, there was a magnolia orb there.

[00:03:42] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:04:12] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:04:42] The chipper scarlet tannager.

[00:05:12] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:14] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:16] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:18] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:20] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:22] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:24] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:26] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:05:40] Another vreet of the red invirion.

[00:05:48] Or chipper.

[00:05:52] The scarlet tannager.

[00:05:56] The scarlet invirion.

[00:06:26] Something was just mimicking a whole bunch of stuff.

[00:06:56] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:07:26] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:07:56] Oh, there's a magnolia orb.

[00:08:26] There's something slightly different, American Robin. Also a thrush.

[00:08:38] A couple of them in here.

[00:08:46] Having a bit of an argument.

[00:08:48] I think there's three of them. It's a territorial dispute is what it looks like.

[00:09:18] It appears there's a wood thrush sitting right in front of the first recorder I put down.

[00:09:40] Still some Robin arguments above me.

[00:09:42] And some chippers from Scarlet Tannager.

[00:09:50] I might stand here a bit longer because I get more recordings of that.

[00:09:56] Really clean recordings of it because, yeah, that thing is right in front of my mic.

[00:10:42] So, the wood thrush are now for their Pyrrhole song.

[00:11:10] Pyrrhole, Pyrrhole.

[00:11:23] It is very easy to get them confused with the hermit thrush song though, I find.

[00:11:30] Very similar voice, very similar quality to the song.

[00:13:01] Oh.

[00:13:12] Heard a black-thorough blue-urber.

[00:14:00] Okay, the wood thrushes across the trail is now behind my microphone rather than in front of it.

[00:14:26] So it's fine for me to go pick it up now.

[00:14:36] Alright, let's keep on walking.

[00:14:38] Now whip, whip, whip, whip. Those are from wood thrush as well too.

[00:14:46] So there's at least three of them here.

[00:15:16] Okay, let's go.

[00:15:46] Okay.

[00:16:16] Okay.

[00:16:46] It's black-thorough green, I think.

[00:17:12] So it's kind of like all the hermit thrushes sang first.

[00:17:20] Then once they were done for the night, the wood thrushes came out to sing.

[00:17:30] And a bit of black-thorough green warplers as well too.

[00:17:41] Alright, well I gotta keep moving. It's getting darker.

[00:17:49] I think I'd like to build a fire tonight too so let's head back and do that.
