Almost 24 hours in and I only just realized I forgot to celebrate the Equinox. I was probably too busy enjoying the bonus daylight. Happy happy, everyone!

Part 2 of a wide-ranging conversation is up on @earth-fm.bsky.social. This time we talk about swamp recording, ADHD, the value of recording, natural history, ADHD, and more.

Thanks, @melissapons.bsky.social, for another great chat!

Part 1 of a long, but delightful conversation with Mel from @earth-fm.bsky.social is out today. It started in typical interview format, but when two like-minded ADHD folks sit down to talk, all bets are off. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

“Peent-peent-peent… BOOM!”

Western Meadowlark Western Meadowlark, Sturnella neglecta An abundant and widely distributed grassland bird of North America, it's a common voice in the wide open spaces in the Pacific Northwest's drier inland regions

Have a peaceful moment in your day with this Western Meadowlark w/ gorgeous echo returning from downslope. Recorded on Summer Solstice 2024. Unlike the more familiar song, this call is used to reinforce the bond of a mated pair.
