Well no I suppose it won't so that's why I block out the sound of the water and opens my ears to other sounds, sadly, that sometimes doesn't work when people are still walking to their site stepping on leaves and talking to one another. The cars I hear don't help much either but if I can't hear much of anything else I still write it down on my sound tapestry.
The sounds of birds I can hear sound a lot like any common bird, I am not sure of which bird though I haven't been able to see one. Although there are times when I can actually see the birds I just can't make out which type of bird it is. I hope I'll be able to get a good view of one someday!
Other animals I love to see and hear are squirrels chasing one another through and around the trees! They're cute and it's kind of funny how they chase each other. It's fun to watch and listen to them.
Thanks for the post, Kas. I enjoyed reading about your attempt to listen closely and identify the sounds you are hearing. Please remember that you are always welcome to take the binoculars and field guides out with you -- it might really help with your bird identification!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! I also have difficulty focusing in on all the surrounding sounds of nature when there are so many distractions around us. I'm striving to become more of a naturalist and trying to learn to tune things out! :)
