This short video features the sound of two wildlife companions that visited me on a recent Sunday morning photowalk along the Grays Harbor bay in Hoquiam, Wash. It will complement my upcoming Photography Lovers post.
First, while I was composing the shot that I'm using as a thumbnail for this video, a family of otters swam by, and one of them was chirping as they went, a sound I had never heard before.
Later, a little bird I've tentatively identified as a Savannah sparrow perched on a bit of driftwood just above me and chirped at the morning. Generating that little peep practically took its whole body: it shook its chest and made it difficult for it to stand still on its perch.
You can also hear the ambient sounds of the wildlife on the bay waking up to greet the day.
