Episode 155: Early Spring Blue Hour with Cricket Song

Recorded on March 30, 2026 at Heart Place, this is the sound of night noises at blue hour. Listeners will hear a mixture of crickets in the pasture including the Southern Wood Crickets with their spritely chirps (about four per second), Southeastern Field Crickets delivering long trills with uneven pauses and Carolina Ground Crickets with a rapid, pulsing trill that stumbles now and then. Across the pasture frogs call from Heart Pond including the Southern Cricket Frogs, sounding like two small pebbles tapped together and Fowler’s Toads with their raspy “waaaa” call. The steady rhythm of insects and amphibians creates a natural chorus suited for meditation or drifting off to sleep.
