2023/07/14

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. I gathered this recording in the forest not far from my campsite and is what I heard as I lay in my tent drifting off to sleep. I thought it was an especially soothing soundtrack to a restful

This was recorded on a sunny and warm summer day in the forest beside a cold mountain stream high in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts in the morning and continues until mid afternoon. 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

This was recorded in the forest on a clear summer morning high in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The air was cool but not cold, in fact relatively warm for 6,700 feet elevation. The rushing water of several streams is heard in the distance as they cascade down the sides of the valley before eventually coming together to form the North Fork of the Sacramento River. In this recording you'll hear many different

Bonus! Evening Thunderstorm At Medicine Lake

Sound By Nature ·

2023/07/08

This was recorded in the early evening in the forest near Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. Thunderclouds had been brewing for much of the afternoon when finally this thunderstorm sprang to life at the end of the day, so I hastily grabbed my recording gear and set it up beneath a tree in the forest not far from my campsite. On the day day prior to this recording there were thunderstorms which lasted for much of the day, but unfortunately it was also the day that

143: Late Night Campfire At Medicine Lake

Sound By Nature ·

2023/07/07

This was recorded on a clear and cool summer night in the Hemlock Campground at Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The lake had only been made accessible a few days earlier when the road was cleared of snow and the campground wasn't officially open yet. I was the only person there and I was happy to enjoy a quiet and peaceful night in solitude.

2023/07/01

This was recorded late on a clear and calm night in the forest beside a small meadow flooded with snowmelt not far from Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. Frogs are heard singing at the lake in the distance and nearby in the shallow water of the flooded meadow. This recording was made tree ears style by placing a microphone on either side of the trunk of a tree, in this case a Lodgepole Pine.

Sound By Nature ·

2023/06/30

This was recorded at dawn on a cool early summer morning in the Lodgepole Pine forest surrounding Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I set up the mic in the forest near the campground I was staying in (which I had entirely to myself), close enough to the lake that you can hear the splash of jumping trout, yet still surrounded by trees. Despite it being early summer patches of snow remained on the ground nearby and throughout the forest, a testament to the heavy

2023/06/27

This was recorded just after sunset beside Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The wind had just died down and the remaining wind ripples lapped against the rocky shoreline, then slowly subsided as the lake became increasingly still. Frogs and toads called out in chorus on the far side of the lake as the darkness settled in and the clouds dissipated, revealing an incredibly starry sky. After a while, a faint breeze whispered through the Lodgepole Pines standing like

*This episode is a little quieter than usual, you may need to turn up the volume to hear it well. This was recorded on a late spring afternoon in a small stand of Quaking Aspen growing beneath tall Ponderosa Pines beside a seasonally flooded meadow located east of Bear Mountain in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I made this recording using the tree ears technique, in which a microphone is placed on either side of the trunk of a tree, in this case a Quaking Aspen

This was recorded early on a clear spring morning in the forest near White Deer Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts about an hour before sunrise as the birds were just beginning to sing, and the frogs were winding down their nighttime chorus.

2023/05/28

This was recorded on a spring afternoon at White Deer Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The thunder began in the distance with a light breeze blowing through the Ponderosa Pines and White Firs towering above, then clouds rapidly gathered overhead and built into active thunderheads which produced abundant lightning and loud thunder. As the storm slowly moved directly overhead, it began to rain and the thunder became frighteningly loud. Help this podcast get made by

2023/05/21

This was recorded in the middle of a warm, sunny, and breezy day during my camping trip at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park at the end of April. I was walking along the Lava Springs Trail between the Horr Pond Campground and Crystal Springs when I happened upon a mother Black Bear and her cubs. I saw the mama bear first walking through the thick undergrowth more than hundred feet away. Upon seeing her I clapped my hands a few times to let her know I was there. She stopped and looked in my direction

2023/05/15

This was recorded early on a clear and warm spring morning at Bigelow Meadow in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. A light and steady breeze blew across the willow thickets and a few nearby pine trees which call the meadow home, with the soft roar of the McCloud River, running high with an abundance of snowmelt, heard in the distance. The recording starts in predawn darkness a little after three in the morning, towards the end of the nightly frog chorus. Even at that very

This was recorded early on a rainy morning near a seasonal lake deep in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. I set the recording rig up tree ears style on a White Fir and left it for two nights at this location. This episode is from very early on the first morning of the recording. It starts in the darkness of predawn in steady rain near the end of an all night frog chorus and continues into the early morning light. Listen for the eerie calls of a pair of Barred Owls

This was recorded in spring at Conical Depression in Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, Shasta County, California. Conical Depression is a wide, shallow crater with a small lake in the middle, which is ringed with tule and cattails, with a wide clearing around the lake which is surrounded by juniper and oak woodland. I set up the microphone beneath junipers and oaks near the edge of the clearing to record for twenty-four hours. I then took two minutes from every hour and edited it all together, with

2023/05/02

This was recorded on a clear and warm spring evening in the Horr Pond Campground at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, Shasta County, California. I built the fire with downed oak branches I gathered from the surrounding forest floor, and started it just before sunset. It burned vigorously at first, then slowly died down as darkness fell and the stars came out. I recorded this during a six night camping trip at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park. The park is one of the least visited state parks in

2023/04/17

This was recorded in the predawn hours beside Bigelow Creek in Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. There was still several feet of snow blanketing the forest floor and the creek was flowing well, whereas at this time last year what little snow there was had long since melted and the creek was dry. After a couple years of severe drought, it's very nice to see so much water back on the land. I recorded this using the tree ears recording

2023/04/03

This was recorded on a cool and partly cloudy spring day beside the Sacramento River in the Sacramento River Bend Area, Tehama County, California. I set up the microphone at a small opening in the dense vegetation growing along the muddy bank of the river. The river was running high and swift, which was very nice to see after the past couple years of drought. A Lesser Goldfinch foraged in the willows just to the right of the mic, then stopped to sing its song. --- Support this podcast:
