A woodpecker plays percussionist as a mountain chickadee (Poecile gambeli) and Steller’s jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) compete for attention somewhere beyond the hustle of the Yosemite Valley. While the chickadee punches well above its weight, the jay is just too punk rock to be outdone.

Sounds of the Wild
This is a curated collection of stereo field recordings captured during production of the Uinta Triangle podcast. Real outdoor locations across Australia, New Zealand and the United States are represented. The natural soundscapes include weather and wildlife, with minimal or no anthropogenic interruptions. In most cases, these tracks begin and end at points that repeat cleanly, allowing them to be endlessly looped for purposes of relaxation, meditation, or as a sleep aid.
