Need a Shot of Spring? Try Some Bird Songs

Can you remember what the song of a male Scarlet Tanager sounds like? Review a variety of songbird vocalizations interactively with thoughts of spring (photo by Paul Konrad).

It’s not news that bird songs add to elevated psyches and happiness for many people during spring. After fall and winter months almost devoid of bird songs, here’s a little songbird excitement in the form of interactive songs of birds that migrate through the center of North America – Minnesota – although these are popular birds found in central and eastern states and provinces – during spring. A great new webpage provides opportunities to learn, or review, favorite spring bird songs.

Brush up on your Wood Thrushes, Yellow Warblers, Indigo Buntings, Scarlet and Summer Tanagers, Eastern Bluebirds, American Goldfinches, and other popular songsters on the new interactive webpage provided by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to learn and practice bird songs, or review and just appreciate how these birds add so much to our auditory landscape.
