I spend a good amount of time ear birding while sitting in my vehicle with either one or both of my kids. My recordings are usually not worth sharing, as they have kids being kids in the background… sometimes in the foreground. Even still, there’s something about pulling over on a back road, rolling down the windows, and listening to the birds that is soothing, especially amidst life with young kids.
One of my favourite spots is Keeping Rd. There may big trucks going by just down the road, and of course the kids… but the bird song here is lovely.
Today I hear:
American Robin
Spotted Towhee
Song Sparrow
Black Capped Chickadee
Dark Eyed Junco
Hermit Thrush
Brown Creeper
Purple Finch
Common Yellowthroat
Brown Headed Cowbird
Black Headed Grosbeak
Wilson’s Warbler
Orange Crowned Warbler
Black Throated Gray Warbler
Pacific Slope Flycatcher
Anna’s Hummingbird
Not too bad for a little back road
