Hearing Nature

Hike out to your favorite natural spot. Get comfortable. Close your eyes. And just listen...

caw caw caw
chick-a-dee-dee-dee
buzz-z-z-z-z-z
cheerio-cheeri up
peep peep peep
pee-o-ee

The woods at the Marie Property rang with birdsong - chickadees, crows, pewees, robins, wild turkey chicks, and many others that I didn't know. The cicadas sounded close by as their high pitched buzzing cut through the trills, chirps and warbles of the birds. A crashing sound in the underbrush marked the trail of a rabbit.

Take time to listen. Nature speaks as much as it shows.
