I learned hand whistling in a basic way when I was a kid to imitate owl sounds. Listening to Jonna making such a wide variety of music, I am going to see if I can expand my repertoirce. You can also modulate the sound by "compressing" your hands closer together. You can also whistle with stiff grass blades clasped between your thumbs...
Ice sounds are fascinating and can be quite loud and scary. Ice is active and constatly changing with temperature changes. Being out on the ice at night in the North is a very special experience.
Oh, my heart! Tiny little relatives of ours, bat mammals, are so amazing! They purr?! I am not surprised lil Mr. Chugs immediately felt your kindness and energy of awe and communicated that in a way he intuitively knew you would understand. Thank you for sharing this! Also, I left a comment on Jonna's FB page: "So lovely to listen to your recordings! I love standing on ice far from populated areas and listening to it speak! I am in the far north and love the cold, the snow, the quiet poof of new snow insulating other sounds and then a drop in temperature and ice speaking. Or skiing on a lake while it cracks and pops, almost happily."
Ooh you had a close encounter with a bat, that's awesome! I wasn't able to hear the sound of the ice... Is it on her YT channel somewhere? I couldn't find it.
We're so fortunate to have at least a dozen small bats spend the summer in our large ground-level cellar. We feel so lucky that they have chosen our house as their summer breeding ground. 🙂🦇

Trees talk too...

Beautiful and moving. Brought tears to my eyes.
First of all, I love bats. All animals really, but bats and wolves are often so misunderstood. I guess at heart I love the underdog so to speak.
Hearing wolf song makes me feel calm and knowing now that bats vibrate or purr when happy makes we want to hear that, too.
Nature's voices. Thank you for sharing this. What a wonderfully full life you have led so far.

Wow we seem to be on a similar wavelength today!
