Field Crickets: Eastern Striped Cricket, Song

Midwife Toads Dusk Chorus

Jared Blake is one of the most important human voices in the natural world today. His unceasing commitment to exhort us all to slow down and listen to the voices of the natural world, to work hard to understand what we're being told, is a cause and effort to be celebrated. in this episode, Jared tells us about his months-long recording expedition to the American Southwest, and about the extraordinary, often eerie, voices he heard while in the wild.

Recorded under a little animal shed at the base of a forest mountain with a very small water canal in between. 

Rain in the Atlantic Forest with Amphibian Songs

A secondary forest, with a view to a cloud forest, by a lake surrounded by a handful of smaller ponds.
Guava fruits dunks in the water and fish make heavy snaps. Besides the cane toads, some other tree frogs present themselves to the night, alongside with ear-piercing insects' sounds. Not very different from the cane toad but a larger and with rhythm variation call is the bamboo rat. It's heard towards the end of the recording.
In the lake, the orange eye of a capybara emerges, but no sound. The vegetation behind us is in constant motion.
This is my first recording in Manu National Park.


Andean Amazon Dusk by Ponds

My first long recording in this location was more of a test rather than an attempt for a finite result. Although issues that often occur in very quiet places, such as high noise floor, practically don't exist in a densely populated area, there are so many sources and different sounds that aesthetic options can take time on the field to take. Here at Manu National Park the numbers are close to the following: 222 species of mammals, 99 species of reptiles, 140 species of amphibians, 1000 species of birds, 210 species of fish, 130 species of butterflies, 136 species of dragonflies and 650 species of beetles. It's important to say, especially regarding insects, that there are numerous species that are undescribed and even bird identification tools like Merlin only "know" about 65% of birds in the region. 
It's the rainy season and the air is dense and thick having reached 94% of humidity level in the same day the recordings happened.
Animals are everywhere and at this time of the day - shortly before 6am when it's still dark - they surround the area. 
This is at 539m altitude, very close to the cloud forest, and nearing the low-land forest.

The bird species we could identify so far in this recording are: Cinerous Tinamou, Little Tinamou, Black-face Anttrush, Hoatzin (the scary "breathy" sounds), Hauxwell's Thrush and Russet-backed Oropendola. The constant medium-high pitch sound belongs to the dart poison frog.

Thanks to the team who, with their knowledge and interest, helped with identification.
