A Song Sparrow makes chip calls, a Wrentit sings it's bouncing ball song, and a Spotted Towhee can be heard as well. These different voices all combine to create the soundscape of the Sonoma Creek headwaters in early summer!
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.
