🎙️ New Podcast: “A Squeaky Toy in the Canopy” 🐦🌿

Hello my friends,This week, I want to take you into the Peruvian rainforest—where one of the strangest and most beautiful birds I’ve ever recorded made me stop in my tracks. Imagine this: a high-pitched squeak echoes through the trees. At first, I thought it was an insect… maybe even someone’s lost rubber toy. But when I looked up, there it was—the Plum-throated Cotinga—an astonishing flash of blue and purple perched high in the canopy.This episode of The Listening Planet is all about that moment. The sound. The surprise. The beauty.🎧 Included in this post:The full podcast episode featuring the Cotinga, Great Tinamou, Mountain Foliage-gleaner, and more.Behind-the-scenes notes from the field—my reflections on vulnerability, awe, and the importance of listening.These are the moments that remind me why I record. Why I’ve dedicated my life to sound. And why I believe we must protect what remains.Your support helps me keep going—through illness, loss, and the unraveling of wild spaces. Thank you for walking with me.With gratitude and sound,
