In this episode we return to the headwaters of Sonoma Creek, in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park to listen to Downy Woodpecker chicks. We were last here in winter, but now it’s spring.
Tune into KRCB.org (104.9 FM Sonoma County) to listen for the current segment. Ear to the Wild is a short interstitial segment aired somewhat randomly throughout the day between other programs. They use shorts and postcards to fill airtime during breaks from Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Also during their music programing, as needed. Greta Mart tends to air them during her show around 4:47 or 5:47.
