Sounds of wild creatures: LAPC

Sounds of wild creatures, the large and the small,
Pulling our attention, leaving us enthralled

Small Black-throated Sparrows pause and perch high
Singing unforgettable melodies to deep azure skies

Black-throated Sparrow song

Large Wild Turkeys graze and promenade
Chortling calls rise, then fall in cascades

Small Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels scurry and skitter
Chirping alarms in short and sharp chitters

Large Rocky Mountain elk forage and wander
Bugling refrains, piercing and somber

Sounds of wild creatures, the large and the small,
Leaving fond memories of places we recall
