Cricket & Frog Lullaby under the Full Flower Moon

Episode Description from the Publisher

Recorded on May 1, 2026 at Heart Place, this is the sound of a nighttime chorus at Bullfrog Pond under May’s Full Flower Moon, also known as the Frog Moon. Spring Crickets and Southern Wood Crickets form a steady backdrop, joined by the rising waaaa of Fowler’s Toads, the soft tapping of Southern Cricket Frogs, like two small pebbles struck together and the short raspy trill of the Cope's Gray Treefrog.Through the chorus, listeners may catch the faint call of a Chuck-will’s-widow from across the pasture and the nocturnal notes of a Yellow-breasted Chat in the brambles, though both are nearly overtaken by the strength of the amphibian chorus. Sounds Southern Extended listeners will hear over two hours of this layered nighttime rhythm, well suited for deep rest and relaxation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
