The American Wigeon, a majestic species belonging to the Anatidae family, graces the wetlands of North America with its presence. These graceful waterfowl are known for their preference for shallow habitats such as marshes, lakeshores, and ponds, where they forage for sustenance. However, their versatile nature allows them to adapt to various environments like rivers and estuaries throughout different stages of their life cycle. The American Wigeon's vocalizations are a testament to their unique character. From whistling calls to grunting sounds, their voices resonate through the wetlands, reflecting the diversity of situations and communication needs they encounter.

Harmonizing with their calls is a symphony of other bird species, frogs, and the gentle babbling of a nearby river stream. Listen closely, and you will hear the melodic tunes of the Northern Shoveler, the ethereal calls of the Sora, the enchanting song of the Western Meadowlark, and the haunting melodies of the Common Nighthawk.

A calming listen, good for sleep.

I bought 3 Greg Cetus soundscape audios during a recent sale. This is my favorite. The frogs and a quiet stream and occasional mixed water bird sounds can be heard throughout. The mix of sounds are well balanced with the water bird calls the loudest. But they sound only occasionally, not constant. At times the water birds shaking their bodies and feathers of water can be heard, as well. (I also purchased Rain and Thunder in Leafy Forest, and Gentle Coyote Howling in Wild Prairies. Both are quite nice).

The audio begins with a quick “This is Audible” and ends with a quiet “Audible hopes you’ve enjoyed this program,” the latter I usually cut off with my sleep timer. This is a calming listen, good for falling asleep.
