Here’s our annual slide show for 2025.  Try to view it in full-screen mode to see the pictures at their best, and with headphones for the best sound.  All the pictures and soundscapes came from Prairie Haven and Mike composed the music.

Here’s a list of the animals and plants that appear in the video.

The sounds come from Ears In the Driftless (our bio-acoustic monitoring project).  And for the first time we used our nifty Birdomatic system to explore and select the audio from that massive pile of audio data.  There’s lots more information about all that on those sites.

Having trouble playing the video?   Try this version — it’s a bit smaller.
