Bonus: American Sycamore – Voice of the Wild

Headphones on! In our first bonus episode we won’t be hearing an animal’s song and learning its voice. Instead, we’ll be giving voice to a tree. We’ll be hearing about Platanus occidentalis, the American Sycamore, and it starts with a walk through the woods… Do you want to learn bird songs, frog calls, and insect noises? Join Voice of the Wild every Friday to explore a new wild voice. From time to time, we’ll also do a deep dive into wildlife science, news, and natural history. Voice of the Wild is brought to you by the University of Illinois Extension Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy program. Available on most podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube. Subscription links Here Subscribe to the Newsletter Listen online on our Homepage This episode was written and recorded by Brodie Dunn. The following Macaulay Library recordings were used in this episode: Yellow-throated Warbler - ML509298 by Mike Andersen Pine Sisken single call - ML510254 by Dave Herr Pine Sisken flock - ML510252 by Geoffrey A.
