Recorded on July 29, 2025, on the Way Out West deck, this is the sound of morning in the meadow and the distinctive call of the Red-headed Meadow Katydid—a powerful, rapid tick followed by a loud, grinding trill. Summer songbirds including Eastern Wood-Pewee, House Finch, Downy Woodpecker, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Carolina Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Tufted Titmouse, Northern Cardinal, Blue Grosbeak, Yellow-throated Vireo, Red-winged Blackbird, American Crow and Mourning Dove weave into the summer mix of cicadas, crickets and katydids warming in the summer sun.
