Recorded on April 20, 2026 at sunrise along the Little Tallahatchie River, this is the sound of peak spring migration. The morning, covered in fog along the river bottom, builds with Wood Thrush, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee and Northern Cardinal, joined by Indigo Bunting, Red-eyed Vireo, Canada Goose and Summer Tanager, with light breezes moving through the tops of the trees and the barks of an Eastern Gray Squirrel. A stream of warblers carries the center of the recording, including Black-throated Green Warbler, Worm-eating Warbler, Kentucky Warbler, Hooded Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Pine Warbler and Prothonotary Warbler alongside Northern Parula, American Redstart and Louisiana Waterthrush.

Listeners will hear the tree canopy filled with the drumming and calls of Red-headed, Hairy, Downy, Red-bellied and Pileated Woodpeckers, as well as Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Carolina Wren, Brown-headed Cowbird, Blue Jay, White-eyed Vireo, Yellow-throated Vireo, Acadian Flycatcher, American Crow and Red-winged Blackbird, creating a layered morning chorus well suited for meditation or improving one’s mood.
