Spring Dawn Chorus in a Swamp

Artist:

Jocelyn Lauzon

Quebec, Canada

Notes:

Rich and intimate spring dawn chorus recorded in a swamp on a forested private land south of Quebec.

This recording gently starts during the nautical twilight with the first skylight colors, and evolve with the sunlight into an intense avian symphony.

Towards the second half of the recording, a woodpecker is drumming/calling on a metal pole nearby, an interesting mix of biophony and anthropophony.
