Episode 61: Barred Owl Duet in the Swamp
Recorded on February 27, 2025, at Belmont's Clear Springs, this is the sound of a stirring frog chorus in the swamp at blue hour. Listeners will hear the calls of Spring Peepers, Upland Chorus Frogs and Southern Leopard Frogs, blended with the distinctive squeals of male Wood Ducks as pairs gather in their roosting areas for the night. Adding to the nighttime symphony, a Barred Owl pair hoots it up in tandem, their calls marking the beginning of courting season.
