Reviews for Songbirding
Quietly listening
I enjoy that our host doesn’t talk incessantly over the sounds of nature. Lovely wind down in the evening
Can’t sleep without it
When stress hits in the middle of the night this is my go-to solution. Particularly season 3. What would I do without this?!
High quality birding content
An immersive experience with high quality recordings and gentle, insightful commentary. This podcast absolutely nails the balance between informative, educational and enjoyable for all levels of birders. Highly recommend the Songbirding Serenades series as well for deep dives into learning specific species.
Still enjoying after all these years
I look forward to this each and every week, thanks for all these recordings
Delightful little podcast
This is my platonic ideal of a podcast to listen to in bed at the end of the day. It is such a soothing way to ease in to sleep, with the added bonus of training your ear for bird calls. Songbirding is a treasure.
Great podcast to help me refresh my birding skills while sitting at my desk at work! I like how the ebird checklists are linked with the specific recordings of the distinct calls.
Wonderful bird recordings!
Thank you for sharing your recordings of birds in the natural world. What a treat for my ears and a salve for my mind.
Wonderful podcast
Peaceful nature walks with knowledgeable, non-intrusive commentary. A perfect way to develop the skills to bird by ear. The world needs more songbirding.
Want to go birding but stuck at work? Want to improve your birding-by-ear skills? Want to fall asleep to the sounds of nature? This is the perfect podcast for you.
Very serene and informative. Relaxing and the music is an especially nice touch.
Thank you.
Your podcasts are meditation. They are so enjoyable, peaceful and calming.
Excellent
I’ve just listened to the first two seasons of this podcast and can hardly wait to listen to the rest of the episodes. I’ve been a casual birder for many years and I think just listening to those two seasons has really improved my ability to bird by ear. Can’t wait to apply these new skills. Love that I’ve birded in so...
Read MoreA superb podcast on the wonders of bird song
Songbirding is hands down one of my favourite podcasts to listen to. Rob has created an immersive experience which will appeal to both birders and general nature enthusiasts.
Wonderful!!
Completely immersive listening experience; as if I am walking in a meadow filled with birds. Very uplifting and educational. Thank you so much for this excellent podcast!!
Just what I needed!
Oh my gosh, I just LOVE this! I’ve listened to the entirety of season one after just discovering it. It’s so comforting to listen to the birds songs and hear all about their unique calls. Would love if you partnered with others to expand this to different regions of Canada. I’m dying to hear some of the hometown bird...
Read MoreI absolutely LOVE this podcast
As someone who appreciates nature and birds and ALSO has difficulty falling asleep this podcast is ideal. I can listen during the day when I want to learn more about a wide variety of birds and their calls and can listen again at night to help me relax and fall asleep. That’s a podcast win-win in my book.
Gentle way to learn birdsongs.
Long time birders, but covid has clipped our wings. I feel I am out birding with a friend. As someone else pointed out, also great for insomnia. Some species not common in Georgia but most are. Hoghly recommend.
What an awesome offering!! I happened upon this podcast when my house zebra finch had anxiety & I was hoping to calm her down. It turned out I WAS THE ONE who lessened my anxiety...I’m addicted to daily listening. Rob’s voice lulls me into a 4th dimension. I just adore this!
ornithologically wonderful
I was delighted to find this podcast of Bird songs from my home region. Informative and gentle natured, I’ve shared it with my family who live in different parts of Canada, so they may enjoy hearing Rob visit birds from this neck of the woods too.
Great podcast.
Great podcast, highly recommend to any birder.
A really lovely, immersive show that takes you out in the field (or forest) to hear the birds singing. Rob is a great host, describing everything with a wonderfully calming voice, but leaving space for the birdsong to shine through. The show has helped me learn more about the birds of North America, and I hope to put t...

I’m really glad I stumbled across this podcast! I’m not a big birder, but I love listening to this when trying to relax and get to sleep. Keep up the good work!
Song birding
Thank you for doing this podcast! I like to bird by ear and I love listening to your rambles through different habitats!
Great advice for new birders
With all the self isolation that COVID-19 brought, I decided that I would invest in some bird feeders for my backyard in the city. Not knowing much about birds, I came upon this podcast. It has some great advice for those getting into birding. I also listen to this podcast while I’m driving and simply listening to th...
Read MoreStress relieving at its finest
I’m a police dispatcher and when I really need to lower my blood pressure when I take a break at work, listening to this podcast does it. Absolutely amazing how calming this podcast is.
Magical
it's like we're right there on the path (or deep in the grasses) with Rob. he's got a lot of feathered friends who oblige with song and call. enjoy your break, Rob, but please keep 'em coming.
really enjoying how Rob has put this together, almost like I am on the hike
Cheery & interesting
Love your podcast. Just found it. Keep up the good work. I’m frm N.B Canada proud 🦆🦅🦉🕊🦜
Spellbinding
Just the right mix of explanation and bird song. A perfect listen while working indoors, wishing one were elsewhere.
Lovely!
Throughly enjoying this podcast! Informative and relaxing, now I can bring the outdoors with me wherever I go! Thank you!
Highly recommend! Beautiful sounds & information combined
I just finished listening to my first episode - the spring 2020 northern mockingbird. Although I am familiar with the mockingbird’s songs, I do struggle to id many birds by their song so I’m hopeful this will help me learn. However, what I wasn’t prepared for was the peace and tranquility I experienced while listening....
Read MoreIn this time of being stuck at home this podcast has given me access to the sounds I miss. So calm and peaceful, wonderful to put on and just zone out to. Rob does such a good job capturing all the bird songs. Really a great listen right now
I'll admit that I've not exactly listened to a number of podcasts about birds, so I couldn't tell you how this compares with any others that might exist. What I can say is that this is an incredibly soothing podcast to listen to. I enjoy learning tidbits about the birds and their songs, too, but really truly find it to...
Read MoreCalming, educational
I’ve learned some new species’ songs from this. Great to have a resource like this for learning birds by ear that isn’t just 5 second clips on a loop.
Calming and Informative
I think there are two main kinds of people that would really enjoy this podcast: 1. Songbird enthusiasts of all experience levels. Rob brings a lot of information and knowledge in to the episodes. 2. People looking for something calming to listen to. I like listening to all sorts of podcasts, but nearly all of them ...
Read MoreBirds. That's pretty much all there is to say. This podcast is such a serene, tranquil, aural delight. It's like Rob bottled peace and is selling it to us for free.
These guys should be on NatGeo
Seriously thought this was a NatGeo podcast - wow Rob is fantastic - narration is great - knowledge out of this world and really as a neophyte I’m enjoying this in the background during commutes ... 10 minutes and this will clear your mind and make you a better person. Well done!
Best Birdsong Podcast Ever
I'm a birder and follow several birding podcasts. I've always hoped someone would do a recording just like these, in the field with the birds with commentary. These are really well done, fun to listen to and I just hope Rob keeps them coming. Great stuff.
