Sounds of Earth's Oldest Living Dinosaurs



These Dinosaur sounds always give me chills of excitement as they echo loudly across the Florida prairie at sunrise! And Yes, Dinosaurs are still alive today - that's a scientific fact! And these are considered likely the oldest species of Dinosaurs alive today - you can "Google it" if you don't believe me. Truly Living Dinosaurs 🦕 🦖. I love these calls of Sandhill Cranes echoing in the early morning on the Florida prairie near Lake Okeechobee. This likely bonded pair of Sandhill Cranes are full time residents of Florida. Some hang out around golf courses and suburban areas often stopping traffic as they have little regard for humans, but here in a wild, remote grassland they are skittish as bobcats, coyotes and even an occasional Florida Panther can take them down so I have to film at long distance. No problem picking up the sound though.

Eastern Meadowlarks Songs and Calls



Recordings of a variety of sounds of Eastern Meadowlarks singing and calling. I love these birds - the color and melody - watching and recording them is irresistible. Eastern Meadowlarks dominate the soundscape of Florida grasslands, ranch lands and grassy marshlands and especially in the few large areas of remaining prairie in Florida. These stunning birds sing their beautiful flutelike songs from perches with good vantage points such as isolated scrub trees and bushes in grassland and fence posts on range and farm land. They do sing all winter in Florida where they are permanent residents, but really increase their singing activity in the spring breeding season.

2024 Screech Owl Nesting Season Update



The Owl live feed was exciting last season and enjoyed by thousands of people and the Backyard Screech Owls appear to be getting back into action for the 2024 breeding season. I have two brand new and improved Green-Backyard power over internet (POE) wired cameras installed, focused and testing in the primary owl nest box that they've used the past few years including last year. This nest box seems to be their favorite. They have been calling in the Backyard and stopping by some of the bird feeder cameras for perching and hunting. It looks like Luna from the last few years is back and healthy and occasionally roosting in the nest box during the day. No positive ID on the male yet and that drama is yet to be sorted out in the coming month. We had one healthy owlet Angel fledge last season and 3 eggs that never hatched. The Screech owl activity looks to be on schedule so far. Roosting starts in earnest during December and then Egg laying in February or early March. I'll put out updates and start the live feed when things get serious so stay tuned for the next owl adventure. The Screech Owls are getting active and mating season is beginning. I'm almost certain that Luna is back. We'll have to wait and see who the male is. Stay Tuned!
