Full Moon Tidal Creek Flow, Frogs, Shorebirds & Crickets

 Spring full moon tides are usually much higher and lower turning gentle flowing brackish creeks into rushing rivers. This audio is one hour of outgoing tidal flow's rushing water sounds along with Pig Frogs, Leopard Frogs, a few Green Tree Frogs calling.

Shorebirds, songbirds, crickets and the occasional overhead airplane and nearby fishing boat contribute to the rest of the full moon marsh audio. Recording rushing water audio is challenging however I find the sounds ground me with the earth (after all our bodies are mostly water).

The Pig Frogs are the perfect bass accompaniment while Leopard Frogs call with out their soprano melodies. I hear Red-winged Blackbirds throughout along with a number of shorebirds. Mole crickets and Southern Field Crickets round out the recording.

Bioacoustics, American Bullfrog Mating Calls


Audio of two American Bullfrogs, male and female, calling to each other just after sunset.  The male bullfrog apparently is doing most of the calling and the female occasionally answers.

Short five minute audio set in a shallow waterlily pond with gently trickling, flowing water.

My personal takeaway from the recording is the sense of 'patience' on the part of the frogs.  Their calls are measured and paused but strong and clear when made.
