  • I recorded this on a cloudy night at the beginning of spring on Gold Bluffs Beach in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Humboldt County, California. The wind was light and blowing offshore, and through the night the tide went from high to low and back to high by morning. The recording started at about 9 p.m. and continues till a bit before sunrise at about 7 a.m.

    This recording is entirely free of noise pollution.

  • This was recorded on a clear and sunny winter afternoon at McArthur Swamp, Shasta County, California. Gusty wind rushed across the grassland, rustling the tall dry grasses and swooshing past their stiff stalks.

    McArthur swamp is an area of protected wetlands and grasslands adjacent to the Tule River and Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park located just north of the small town of McArthur. The area provides wintering habitat, essential food, breeding grounds, and nesting areas for waterfowl and other birds, and is an important stopover for migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway.

  • I recorded this at my home in the small town of McCloud in Siskiyou County, California. It was a relatively warm winter morning, and a flock of Evening Grosbeaks was busily eating a breakfast of sunflower seeds from a feeder hanging from the branch of a birch tree in my backyard. I placed a microphone on either side of the trunk of the tree(tree ears style) and recorded the action.

  • I recorded this on a breezy winter afternoon beside Big Lake in the northeast corner of Shasta County, California. The sky started off mostly cloudy with rain showers to the west, but the showers dissipated as they moved eastward towards the lake, and the clouds broke up allowing the sun to shine through.

    In this episode the constant lapping of small wind waves against the tule lined shore is punctuated by the soft sound of the wind blowing through the bare branches of nearby trees and the gentle rustling of dry grasses. Various species of ducks call as they bob on the surface in large flocks far out on the lake. Geese are heard in the distance calling from the ground, with the occasional flock heard flying high above. Listen for the solitary call of a Red Tailed Hawk, and distant flocks of Sandhill Cranes in flight.

    There was an unfortunate amount of air traffic the day this was recorded, but I liked this recording too much not to share it with you. I hope you like it as well and don't mind the air traffic too much.

    I recently got a new production assistant! She is a sweet dog named Molly and she was a big help with this episode. I look forward to her help with many, many future recordings.

  • This was recorded on a cloudy January evening during an outgoing tide on the beach beside the mouth of the Klamath River in Del Norte County, California. The steady roar of large surf breaking in the distance is punctuated by the waves pushing in against the powerful current of the river and rhythmically crashing against the shore.

    The river was running high and was colored chocolate brown with the abundance of sediment it was carrying from the recently breached Copco No. 1 dam far upriver near the California-Oregon border. The one-hundred year old dam is the last of four to be breached as part of the largest dam removal and river restoration project in American history. As the water behind the dam is drawn down, the first step of its eventual removal, the massive quantity of sediment that built up over its lifetime is being carried downstream for its long overdue meeting with the Pacific Ocean. The removal of the dams will return the river to a free-flowing, natural state and will restore spawning habitat for salmon, steelhead, and many other fish.

  • This was recorded on a rainy night at the very end of autumn in a stand of Quaking Aspen trees beside Bigelow Meadow in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I made this recording tree ears style by placing a small microphone on either side of the trunk of a Quaking Aspen tree that was standing near the edge of the meadow. The leaves had long since fallen from the tree and those surrounding it, and the leaf litter carpeting the ground made a good sounding surface for the falling rain.

    This is the second night of a three night drop rig recording I made at this location. I set up the recording rig on a Sunday afternoon and retrieved it on the following Wednesday morning. In that time over six inches(fifteen centimeters) of rain fell on the area. I was very happy to find my gear dry and undamaged when I retrieved it.

  • This was recorded on a cold and windy late autumn day at the edge of Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

    At the location beside the lake where this was recorded, shards of ice that looked like broken plate glass were piled up along the shore. This occurred sometime in the days prior, when the lake had frozen over and the thin ice was broken up by wind and blown across the surface of the lake to its edge, where it accumulated into a long pile which stretched for several hundred feet along the shoreline. As the biting wind blew unobstructed across the frozen lake, it caused the icy surface to flex and move, making an abundance of cracking, crunching, creaking, crackling, snapping, and popping sounds in the piled ice shards at the lakes edge, as well as the sound of water moving and gurgling just beneath the ice.

    I made this recording using the wind protection I recently made for my Wildtronics SAAM microphone. The mic was directly in the path of the strong and gusty wind, and without the wind protection the recording would have been ruined by wind noise overwhelming the mic. The materials I used to make the wind protection were paid for in part with contributions from listeners, to whom I am extremely grateful. Thank you!

  • This was recorded on a cold and sunny morning beside Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I made this recording at the same time the previous episode was recording, about 250 meters away.

    I used the binaural recording technique for this, in which a microphone is worn on each ear in order to capture sound as closely as possible to the way we naturally hear. I strongly recommend using headphones for the best listening experience.

    The air was absolutely still and the sunshine was pleasantly warm on the otherwise cold morning. I put on my binaural microphones and sat on the sandy shore at the very edge of the lake. The sunlight caused its frozen surface to expand, causing cracks and producing an abundance of otherworldly sounds.

    I find it very difficult to sit silently while wearing binaural microphones, as they pick up the sound of the slightest movements, breathing, and even stomach rumbles. Breathing silently is not as easy as it sounds, especially when not acclimated to the elevation the lake sits at, which is about 6,800 feet or 2,070 meters. Though I tried hard, you may hear a faint breath here and there. This was as long as I could go before I had to shift my sitting position, clear my throat, and take a few normal breaths. That said, I thought this recording was worth sharing. I hope you like it!

  • This was recorded on a cold, sunny, and still morning at the edge of frozen Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

    Early in the morning the sun was obscured by clouds, but after they passed by and the sun shined upon the icy lake, surreal sounds began emanating from the surface. The ice at the edge of the lake snapped and crackled, and long cracks ran across the the icy lake surface, creating strange and otherworldly sounds. The recording has not been altered in any way, this really is what it sounded like.

  • I recently made some wind protection for my SAAM Microphone in order to get better recordings on windy days. Several people remarked that it looked like Cousin It from the Addams Family, so that's what I've started calling it. I went to Medicine Lake, in Modoc National Forest, on a very cold and windy day in order to test it out, and these are the results.

    These are the raw files straight from the recorder(Zoom F6) with no editing of any kind. All I did was apply a five second fade to the beginning and end of each clip and combine them into one audio file.

    The first minute and a half is the mic with only the wind protection I got from the manufacturer, and the second minute and a half is the mic with Cousin It(the wind protection I made). I don't have an anemometer so I can't say exactly what speed the wind was blowing, but I can say that it was blowing pretty hard. I'm guessing the stronger gusts were 25-30 miles per hour(40-48 kilometers per hour). The spot by the lake I did the test was surrounded by Lodgepole Pine, you can clearly hear the wind blowing through them in the background.

    I was pretty happy with how it worked, Cousin It did a great job of protecting the mic from the wind. I look forward to using Cousin It to get recordings for you without fear of the microphone being overwhelmed by unwanted wind noise.

  • This was recorded on a cold and clear autumn day in the forest high above Cabin Creek near the Pacific Crest Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. A light breeze blew through the tops of the Douglas Fir trees towering above, shaking loose rain that was still clinging to the needles from the night before. The recording starts just after sunrise and continues until just before sunset.

  • This was recorded beneath a stand of Mountain Hemlock and Lodgepole Pine on a breezy autumn day at Porcupine Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The air was cold and crisp as the sun shined through passing high clouds, while gusty wind blew through the trees surrounding the clear water of the high mountain lake. Unbothered by the wind, a small banditry of Mountain Chickadees made its way through the trees, calling cheerfully as they flitted among the branches foraging for food.

  • This was recorded on a rainy autumn night in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. A breeze blew through the trees above early on then gradually subsided as the rain fell steadily through the night before becoming lighter as morning drew near.

    This was recorded tree ears style in which a small microphone is placed on either side of the trunk of a tree, in this case a White Fir. I placed the mics low on the trunk in order to better capture the sound of the rain hitting the forest floor. I hope you like it.

  • I recorded this in the meadow at the south end of Taylor Lake in the Russian Wilderness, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

    It was a warm morning for the elevation of the meadow(6500') thanks to the cloud cover overnight. The bumblebees, butterflies, and other pollinators were out early, flying from flower to flower getting their of fill of nectar. Cows grazed out of sight, hidden from view by the many willow thickets which populated the meadow, their presence betrayed by the clanging of their cowbells.

    I laid the microphone down in the grass amongst the abundant white flowers blanketing the meadow(I've been trying to identify them but have been unable to). As you listen imagine yourself laying down in the meadow with the bumblebees and other pollinators buzzing all around. I recommend listening with headphones for the best listening experience.

  • This was recorded on a cloudy night beside Taylor Lake in the Russian Wilderness, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts at around midnight and continues until sunrise.

    The night was fairly calm with a faint breeze blowing through the treetops. Cows grazing in the area were active for a good portion of the night as they slowly made their way, with cowbells clanging, to the meadows at the south end of the lake. They eventually settled down and their noisy bells fell mostly silent until dawn. A brief and very light rain shower passed during the night, and again in the early morning as the buzz of flying insects increased with the morning light.

  • This was recorded on a warm summer day beside Taylor Lake in the Russian Wilderness, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I placed the microphone near the edge of the lake beneath White Fir trees just behind the shrubby Alder growing at the water's edge. The recording starts at about midday and continues until the late afternoon

    The day started out breezy, then after a while the wind subsided before picking up again in the late afternoon. Small thunderstorms pass by south of the lake, with a few rumbles of thunder heard in the distance. Cows grazed on the far side of the lake, and their cowbells are heard throughout the recording.

    There is some air traffic which is unavoidable on a long recording like this, pretty much anywhere during the day. Most of it is commercial air traffic and flying high, but there are a couple of lower flying airplanes which were involved in firefighting operations on the multiple wildfires burning in far northern California which were sparked by lightning in the days prior to the recording. You will also hear the distant voices of other visitors who were likely unaware of how well sound carries across a lake like this.

    In the past I would have used only a portion of this recording, omitting human generated sounds as much as possible. But in my desire to provide you with an honest idea of what you would actually hear at this place and time, I decided to use the whole recording including the anthropogenic sounds. I hope you don't mind.

    I am incredibly grateful to those of you that have supported the podcast in the past, and those of you that still do. There aren't many of you, which to me makes your contributions that much more meaningful. Thank you so much for supporting what I do.

  • This was recorded overnight beside a mountain stream at the edge of a meadow in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was a calm and cool night and, aside from the sound of the water, was fairly quiet until the birds begin to sing at dawn. The recording starts at about 10:30 at night and continues until about 6:30 in the morning.

    I recorded this during a short, two-night backpacking trip to the area in early July. In order to save weight I brought a minimal recording set up which included a small recorder, power bank, and a pair of microphones. I used the tree ears recording technique for this recording, in this case a Lodgepole Pine that was standing beside the stream.

  • This was recorded on cool summer night in the forest high in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The rushing water of several mountain streams is heard in the distance, providing a soothing background to a calm and peaceful night.
