At sunrise every morning during bird breeding season, habitats everywhere erupt into birdsong.
This is referred to as the Dawn Chorus, and depending on where you live, it could be just a few neighbourhood backyard birds, or a deafening cacophony of various species competing to be heard the most.
I’m taking advantage of staying at campgrounds that have access to exceptional nature trails. Rather than driving somewhere to record, I’m going straight from the tent to the trails that meander up through valleys full of Eastern Hemlock and other Carolinian Forest species.
This will be my last day here in July of 2022, but it will be a very busy one. For the next 5 episodes we’ll be exploring this part of Allegheny National Forest, then making a couple more stops on my journey back home.
Keep listening after the credits, I’ve included some Winter Wrens and other species captured by a stationary recorder I left sitting near the campgrounds during this dawn chorus.

Heart's Content Scenic Area is one of the few "old growth" forests in Pennsylvania.
Instead of going deep into the old growth though, today I’ll be exploring the picnic area and nearby interpretive trails. It may seem counterintuitive, but the greatest diversity of songbirds can be heard by sticking close to edge habitat — that is, habitats that represent border between two or more habitats. In this case, the open meadow of the picnic area, and the old growth of Heart’s Content.

The Hickory Creek Wilderness Trail is a 21km trail that I won't taking in full this year, but perhaps in a future year. For now, I'm going to peek in a bit, and take a listen.

At the end of the very first episode of this season I mentioned we’ve be coming back to the nocturnal portion of that hike, and here we are!
This’ll be less birdsong, more talk and waiting in the quiet, I’m going to talk a bit about the Eastern Whip-poor-will. I’ll make reference to some bat sounds, but I couldn’t quite make them audible in the recording this time around. Stick around to the end for a surprise song right at the conclusion of my hike.

I’ve been driving along the forest road near Hector’s Falls to find some new habitat niches, listening for more songs and sounds. After several hours of hiking, it’s a nice break to cover ground while giving my leg muscles a rest.

I’m beginning my hike back to the main road. One might expect this means we’ll hear the same birds, but that’s not always going to be the case.
Some species move around during the day, or might vocalize less or more often, or differently, at different times of the day.
We’ve not yet heard everything this trail has to offer today.

I’ve made it to Hector’s Falls - it’s not a very tall waterfall but it is very compelling to look at. The water flows off of a rectangular-shaped rock face, forming a thin silk-sheet like stream of water.
Anywhere there is flowing water, there will be insects, and where there are insects to be fed on, there will be plenty of bird species.

It’s my first morning in Allegheny National Forest and the weather is clear and sunny — a perfect July day for recording birdsong.
I’ve parked at the same trailhead for Hector’s Falls as I did the evening before. This time I’m planning to make it all the way to the falls, and perhaps beyond.

The Christmas Bird Count is a census of birds in the western hemisphere that is held between December 14 and January 5 each winter.
It was devised originally as an alternative to the 19th century tradition of hunting birds at Christmas, and has evolved to become the longest running citizen science project.
There are tens of thousands of participants - seeking out and counting tens of millions of birds each year.
2023 will be the 124th year of the Christmas Bird Count. If you don’t already participate in one, as of this episode’s release in November of 2023, you still have plenty of time to find and join a count local to you.
This episode was recorded while participating in the 102nd Hamilton Christmas Bird Count on December 26th, 2022.
