This is a night recording I did a few weeks ago , but am only getting to post until now. There is a close squirrel (Eastern Gray?) and some other favorite friends, I picked up a touch of poison ivy fumbling around in the declining light, it has now pretty much healed but still, use caution recording at night.
Danny was also recording this night, we did hear some relatively close gunshots, but they didn’t continue long.

This night recording was done with the Maryland Nature Recordists in May 2008. I was at the Tubman Road Trail near marker #3. There were open water sloughs on both sides of me. The primary caller seems to be the Northern Cricket Frog, with Cope’s Gray Treefrog, Bald Eagle, Northern Bobwhite, Chuck Will’s widow, possibly the Snowy Tree Cricket, and the occasional Wood Frog filling out the soundscape.

Foggy, rainy morning caused a rain out, I recorded about 20 minutes or so before the rain started growing more heavy. The undergrowth is filling out, as is the canopy. Again the whip-poor-will was calling when I arrived, in fact two or three of them were calling near the road before my hike in. I must try a night recording here soon. This recording was so nice I did cut out a short mid-section when I checked how wet the mics were, enjoy.

The sun was just rising as I once again got out of the car at the trailhead to the sound of dueling whip-poor-wills. One night I will record them. This soundscape has a featured knocker, the piliated woodpecker was a prominent caller this morning towards the end of the recording, in addition to other birds that I haven’t yet identified.
While the air traffic was limited today, I did notice some sort of farm machinery in the distance, the recording location is less than a mile away from some agricultural fields and a pastoral farm. Usually they are quiet save for the occasional cock-a-doodle-do..

On the way out I noticed what appeared to be an albino plant, is this possible? See the photo below, does anyone know what this is?
