Hey everybody from the breezy northwest forest you might be able to hear this tree squeaking

against a big branch overhead here. It sounds like I'm on some big old 18th century ship.

I love those little sounds of nature. Honestly I've become really obsessed with the

tiniest of details in the audio world of nature since starting the wild and I just love it.

It's noticeable how much more I'm noticing every little detail and it's really nice.

It brings the place to life especially in the spring. It's definitely sprung here for sure.

The nettles are knee high and the birds are all singing and in love.

The bears are coming out and yeah I love this season. I hope you're enjoying it too wherever you are,

at least in the northern hemisphere and heading into fall for those of you in the southern hemisphere.

I hope you had a good summer. So I just wanted to let you know that we're taking a short break,

a very short one to work on some new episodes all part of season three.

We just got back from an incredible trip recording in California for two really good stories.

One of them on California condors, North America's biggest bird, that almost became extinct.

You will meet some of the amazing people that are making sure that that doesn't happen.

Another one, Island Foxes on the Channel Islands off the coast of California.

This one's a bit of an ecological house of cards. It involves golden eagles, bald eagles,

foxes and pegs of all things. Yeah, work that one out.

And then also Steel to come in season three, cicadas, which are on everybody's mind right now, brood X,

orangutans and even a snake that makes a noise.

One of the very few snakes that you could do a podcast about and that's the rattlesnake.

So some great stories still to come. So we'll be back in June, which means that now is the perfect time

if you haven't listened to past episodes, including my trip to Belize and stories on Ravens,
