Episode 22: Morning Cicada – Voice of the Wild
Morning Cicada (Neotibicen tibicen).
As the name suggests, this insect sings only in the morning. It begins its rattling broadcast just after the late summer sun has cooked the cool of the night out of the low vegetation it tends to prefer. This cicada has blueish wings, a dark body, and a notably humped back. It is known to have an affinity for swampy areas - in fact, another common name for it is the “swamp cicada.” Nonetheless, I’ve heard it many habitats, so keep an ear open for this bug on your morning walk.
The Morning cicada’s song is harsh and rattling. It also tends to come in discreet 10 second phrases instead of being held for 20 seconds or longer as is common with some other annual cicadas. Here’s the morning cicada again.
Thank you to Wil Hershberger for letting us use the insect calls from SongsofInsects.com.

Episode 20: American Goldfinch - Voice of the Wild
zhlédnutí 161Před 16 hodinami
American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis). The American goldfinch’s jumbled song is a staple of warm mornings and hot summer afternoons. In the cold months they visit hanging finch feeders, the drooping heads of last year’s sunflowers, and sometimes join in with Pine siskins foraging in sycamore and sweetgum trees. Listen for their “perchicory” or “potato chip” flight call as you go about your day! D...
Episode 19: Indigo Bunting - Voice of the Wild

Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea). While the Indigo Bunting is named for the breeding male’s exceptionally blue plumage, the female’s plumage is also exceptional; a rich fawn brown. Look for the Indigo Bunting in hedgerows, forest edges, and other savannalike habitats. Their song is generally sang in multiple phrases, each two notes long. Do you want to learn more bird songs, frog calls, and in...
Episode 18: Field Sparrow - Voice of the Wild

Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla). The Field Sparrow perseveres even when oppressive heat drives all the other birds to silence. Some remember the field sparrow’s song as a ping-pong ball dropped on a table. If the Field Sparrow isn’t calling, look for the its rusty cap and long tail if you’re too far away to see its characteristic pink-bill. Do you want to learn more bird songs, frog calls, and...

Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis). A mimid, this slate-gray bird copies from its neighbors and sings a mishmash of the whole neighborhood’s songs all from one spot. The Gray catbird is a bit of a lurker, often sticking to the low brush and the back of thickets. Listen out for the meow-like call for which it is named!

Episode 16: House Wren - Voice of the Wild

House wren (Troglodytes aedon). The House wren adds brightness to backyards, woods, and urban forests with its bubbly song that seems to stumble over its own urgency. The house wren can be found in Illinois from spring to fall. A small but bold nester, it takes readily to birdhouses in backyards but will also make do in much smaller and more wild spaces.

Episode 15: Scissor Grinder Cicada - Voice of the Wild
zhlédnutí 210Před měsícem
Scissor Grinder Cicada (Neotibicen pruinosus). The scissor grinder’s name was a little more appropriate when it was common practice to sharpen cutting implements with a specialty grinding stone, now the name is a bit anachronistic. Unlike the small, orange-winged periodical cicadas, the Scissor Grinder Cicada can be heard every year. In Illinois, it emerges a little after the summer solstice an...
Episode 14: Dickcissel - Voice of the Wild
zhlédnutí 79Před měsícem
Dickcissel (Spiza americana). In a good tallgrass prairie the Dickcissel’s call can seem to come from every direction. It may have a passing resemblance to a Meadowlark, but on closer inspection you’ll find the Dickcissel is much smaller and has stubby finchlike beak. If you are still unsure, simply wait for the bird to sing it’s own name; dick-dick cissel-cissel. Do you want to learn more bird...

Episode 13: Common True Katydid - Voice of the Wild

Common True Katydid (Pterophylla camellifolia). This night-singing insect is commonly heard but seldom seen. It’s a master of disguise, with oblong green wing covers that are almost indistinguishable from a leaf. The camouflage is both necessary and appropriate, that’s because this katydid is very nearly flightless! It’s also arboreal, sticking to the tops of trees where it can hide amongst the...

    What a load of 💩. Extreme high temperatures in Illinois -- and much of America -- were FAR more common in the 1930's, 1950's, and late 1800's than in recent decades. You look like you're close to retirement. You might consider going out with a modicum of respect and quit spreading this nonsense.

    good summary of herbicides and other management techniques, and their various advantages and disadvantages. @12:29 osage orange is another invasive species that was once promoted and planted as a windbreak or hedge row. morus alba, or white mulberry, was promoted for other reasons, including as a fast growing ornamental tree.

    Thank you so much for these clear, concise instructions. After the plastic knife is used to remove air bubbles from the jars, the water level should be rechecked, and more boiling water added if needed, to be sure there is 1 inch of headspace. We will check out your other videos for home food preservation! Thanks so much, Chief Illiniwek.

    The title suggests that the steam canner plays a role in setting a low sugar jam. It seems that the jam is as good as it's gonna get once it's poured into jars. I thought they would cook under pressure to bring the temperature to 105°C. Would that be possible? I'd call it a "mixed berry" jam if you add a purple fruit juice from a different fruit.
