Bugs and Birds (53:00 mp3):
Jeff Rice of the Western Soundscape Archive hosts an hour of sounds for the start of Summer:
An extinct woodpecker revives an Arkansas town, car alarms made from bird calls, breeding moths for their music, a morning walk with poet Jim Harrison, dancing with gnats, the seismic underground sounds of spiders, and the perspective of a pest controller.
Stories by Long Haul Productions, M’Iou Zahner Ollswang, host Jeff Rice, and Scott Carrier; and recordings by Nina Katchadourian, Lang Elliot, and Dr. Rex Cocroft.
Produced with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
