About this episode

Rob Porter records birdsong on a perfect July morning in Allegheny National Forest, focusing on Hooded Warblers.

It’s my first morning in Allegheny National Forest and the weather is clear and sunny — a perfect July day for recording birdsong. I’ve parked at the same trailhead for Hector’s Falls as I did the evening before. This time I’m planning to make it all the way to the falls, and perhaps beyond.
