For the holidays I'm releasing a sample episode of Songbirding Serenades, normally a Patreon exclusive. Enjoy!

The American Redstart is a cheery, friendly warbler that vocalizes in a lot of different ways.

It can be hard to nail down this song as it varies so much, but generally it is always a short song, and tends to end abruptly or with an accent. It is a fairly persistent singer though, as you will hear -- and the pause between each song is usually only a few seconds long.

A few times in these following soundscapes it may even sound like the redstart is mimicking other warbler species. But, do be aware, some of these recordings actually do contain other species.

For feedback you can contact me through Patreon, Discord, or email songbirdingpod@gmail.com. Each episode is a paid subscriber exclusive. If and when I get more soundscape recordings of a species, I will go back and add the new content to the existing episode, so a given episode may grow in length over time.

There are a number of migration hotspots along the north shore of Lake Erie in Ontario. One of those is Long Point Provincial Park.

In this unprecedented year, nearly all of these locations were closed for the vast majority of migration season.

However, the provincial parks began to open just at the very end of migration, giving one last opportunity to observe hundreds to thousands of migrating birds pass through on their journey north.

Normally, Long Point would be packed with birders, but on this day in this spring of solitude I could count on one hand the number of visitors to this important migration flyway.

Thank you for listening to this third season of Songbirding! A new season of episodes will start soon, in the new year, which will focus on bird species recorded on their breeding territories.
