Episode 46: Carolina Wren Duet in the Scotch Mist

Recorded on December 17, 2024, at the dogtrot on the front porch, this is the sound of a dawn morning shrouded in Scotch mist following the previous day's rain and thunderstorms. Gentle droplets fall steadily from the roofline onto the rain drum, adding a soothing rhythm to the misty morning atmosphere. Featured prominently is a male and female Carolina Wren duet, his song and her chatter resonating through the damp morning air. Listeners will also hear a rich mix of winter residents including House Finch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, White-throated & Song Sparrows, Dark-eyed Junco, Northern Cardinal and American Crow.
