Flocks of Robins, Bluebirds, Woodcocks, Song Sparrows and male Red-Winged Blackbirds have been observed throughout Clayton County. During the morning and evening hours the sound of Goose Music can be heard overhead. In the evening if you listen carefully you may even hear the first amphibian to sing the "spring peeper" who simply sings his name..peeeeper peeeeeper peeeeper.
One of our programs we do for the students is called Nature's Music. During the class, we teach the children how to awaken their senses and listen to all the sounds (loud and subtle) of nature. The kids get a kick out of making all the sounds, but it truly is amazing when you take them outside and they can apply that knowledge to the outdoors. Many of them say, "ooo I've heard that sound before".
Cheers to the attentive ear who knows spring is here, and thanks to all animals who collectively compose "Nature's Music"
