What we’ve learned from the pandemic is that nature’s touch is an overall panacea: walking in the woods, digging in the garden, swimming in the ocean, and birdwatching itself. It’s as if humankind is learning to be a part of, and not apart from, all that surrounds us. And the natural soundtrack to that is the peeping, cheeping, tweeting, and cackling of our avian friends. 

Sonograms are powerful tools for studying bird vocalization, providing insights into the vocalization of different species of birds and how they use their songs to communicate, attract mates and defend territory.

Have you ever heard the 'pop' and 'growl' of male Hooded Mergansers during mating season? If you have a chance, go out one day to see and hear them — you'll immediately understand why they're sometimes called 'frog duck'! Listen to these and many more bird songs with Terra: www.terralistens.com.
