1. The Amazon: Cuyabeno Dawn (65:33)

0:00 – 10:34: During the first ten minutes of the album a number of nocturnal bird sounds can be heard including the calls of Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, Tawny-bellied Screech-Owl, Tropical Screech-Owl and the deep growls of a Great Potoo. A Rufescent Tiger-Heron calls at 03:10 & again at 08:41 with a series of grunting notes. In the slow flowing Cuyabeno River, fish occasionally splash as they break the surface of the water. Starting just after 6:00, the song of two Cinereous Tinamous can be heard with their long series of rising whistles. Around this same time a Common Pauraque calls and at 08:06 the rapid drumming wingbeats of a Spix’s Guan can be heard.

10:35 – 19:29: A distant group of Colombian Red Howlers begin to roar, and two Common Potoos make their distinctive, lamenting song. In the background, the buzzing grunts of a Great Potoo can be heard, along with the soft ‘woah aah’ cries of a Laughing Falcon.

19:30- 28:45: Amazonian River Dolphins splash in the river as they come up for air, and the howlers continue to roar. A Ferruginous Pygmy Owl sings with its piping, rhythmic whistled phrases while Common Pauraques call as they fly about before they settle to roost for the day. The distinctive three-note whistles of an Undulated Tinamou are a characteristic sound of these forests and can be heard at times throughout the album.

28:46 – 32:44: One of my favourite sections of the album – the captivating sounds of Russet-backed Oropendolas as they begin to sing with their magically liquid explosive calls. The forest is still dark at this point and the sky is brightening.

32:45 – 59:40: The dawn chorus intensifies for several minutes as Yellow-rumped Caciques and a number of other bird species begin to sing. As the sun rises the vibrant chorus settles and dozens of bird species can be heard coming and going in this early morning soundscape.

59:41 – 65:33: Morning clouds develop above the forest and a light rain shower falls.
