Sounds of the Boreal Forest

The boreal forest is a vast band of spruce and poplar, extending from coast to coast across Alaska and Canada. Called North America’s “songbird bread-basket,” for a brief time, it teems with song. Birdsongs heard on this show include a Common Loon (like this one), Swainson's Thrush, White-throated Sparrow, Black-and-white Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and others.  Learn more about "the Boreal" at BorealBirds.org. Take action on behalf of the boreal forest.
