Recorded on June 19, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of a powerful early summer thunderstorm, with more than an inch of rain falling in just one hour. Listeners are treated to booming, echoing, pealing thunder and the sound of rain on the Moonpie deck and in the meadow. Sounds Southern Extended subscribers get an hour of some of the season’s most dramatic thunder and the melodic rhythm of the rain drum and the return of birdsong as the storm rolls away. As the skies begin to clear, birds like the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Chipping Sparrow, Eastern Wood-Pewee, House Finch, Tufted Titmouse, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, American Robin and Blue Jay can all be heard reclaiming the skies.
