Track List:

Superior Forest: 12:00 min.

In the woodlands, a few miles south of Lake Superior, listen to this mid-morning chorus of Pine and Black-throated Green Warblers, Hermit Thrush, White-breasted Nuthatch, Eastern Chipmunk, Blue Jay, woodpeckers, distant Sandhill Cranes, and more.

Copper Forest: 14:59 min.

On a bright, sunny morning, at a remote hilltop within the Copper Forest, crickets chirp as Rose-breasted Grosbeaks sing in the trees above. Ovenbird, Red-eyed Vireo, Song Sparrows, various warblers, and an Annual Cicada are also heard in this relaxing soundscape.

Porcupine Mountains: 16:55 min.

A huge volume of gnats and mosquitoes are a feast for the flycatchers and warblers. On this breezy, warm morning, hear many Least Flycatchers, Eastern Pewees, Chestnut-sided Warblers, and White-throated Sparrows, in a rich chorus with woodpeckers, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Song Sparrow, and more.

Receding Storm: 14:58 min.

After a long rainstorm, birds emerge in a flurry of activity to create this wonderfully rich chorus. Listen to White-throated Sparrows, Chestnut-sided Warblers, Robin, Woodpeckers, Chickadee, and more. A single rumble of thunder rattles the forest, as water continues to drip from the trees.

Cranberry Lake: 19:00 min.

Along the shores of this remote lake, just as the daylight fades into darkness, hear the last songs of the Hermit Thrush, Robin, White-Breasted Nuthatch, Chestnut-Sided Warbler, White-throated Sparrow, and the chatter of a Red Squirrel. Whip-poor-wills, Barred Owl, a distant Wilson’s Snipe, and a Timber Wolf are heard after dark. Grey Tree and Green Frogs are heard throughout.
