After setting up a glass plate with contact microphone attached and spreading birdseed on top, Libby and Marcel of Free To Use Sounds captured the surprisingly soothing sounds of an increasing number of pigeons pecking at (and walking on) the glass. It sounds like a rain storm coming! And you
This is a video captured by the kind folks of the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center veterinary hospital in Roanoke of a female opossum growling, presumably upset about having to deal with a trip to the doctor. I’m right there with you, Ms. Opossum. The video claims most people haven’t heard
