130: Early Spring Morning Beside McArthur Swamp

Sound By Nature ·

2023/03/27

This was recorded on a cold morning in early spring beside McArthur swamp in Shasta County, California. Located just south of the rural town of McArthur, the McArthur Swamp provides important habitat for migratory waterfowl and other birds traveling the Pacific Flyway. The recording starts in the early morning beneath the stars as light just began to build on the eastern horizon, and continues well past sunrise. You will hear numerous bird species including Snow Geese, Greater White Fronted Geese,

Bonus! Sacramento River Bend Area- Afternoon Birdsong...

Sound By Nature ·

2023/03/24

This was recorded on a cool spring afternoon at the Sacramento River Bend Area in Tehama County, California. The area is administered by the Bureau of Land Management and is located along a large bend of the Sacramento River in the Sacramento Valley, which is the portion of the Central Valley of California that lies north of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. It was my first time visiting the area, and I was hopeful that it would be a good place for sound recording. Though I did bring my

Bonus! Spring Equinox Beside Tule River Trail

Sound By Nature ·

2023/03/21

This was recorded on the Spring Equinox beside the Tule River Trail, near Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, in Shasta County, California. It was a cold and windy day, and I put the microphone in one of the few places in the area that was sheltered from the wind, which was in the tules growing along the waters edge below the levee atop which the trail runs. It wasn't a perfectly sheltered spot, but far better than if the microphone was out in the open. There was an abundance of migrating geese

129: Late Winter Afternoon Beside Squaw Valley Creek

Sound By Nature ·

2023/03/19

This was recorded on a sunny afternoon in late winter beside Squaw Valley Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. I recorded this on the same day as the previous episode at a spot beside the creek where the water was rushing over a large rock, which created a continuous deep glugging sound. The rock over which the water was rushing was just big enough, and the water was flowing just fast enough, that it created a hollow space on the downstream side which(I am no expert

128: Late Winter Morning Beside Squaw Valley Creek

Sound By Nature ·

2023/03/18

This recording was gathered on a clear and sunny late winter morning beside Squaw Valley Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. The creek was flowing swiftly from snowmelt and recent rain, which was a welcome sight to see after the past couple years of severe drought. I placed the microphone at spot beside creek with some large rocks sticking up out of the water, in the hope of capturing the song of the American Dipper, which is a small bird that feeds on invertebrates

127: Winter On The Redwood Coast

Sound By Nature ·

2023/02/21

This was recorded at low tide during the new moon on a rocky beach in Redwood National Park, Del Norte County, California. The tide was extremely low and the microphone was placed in the intertidal zone between boulders at the base of a massive, towering rock. The roar of strong wind, rough seas, and huge surf is heard in the background as the waves, which weaved their way through the many rocks and reefs farther out, crash and splash against the boulder strewn shore. I made this recording while on

Bonus! Graupel And Snow Falling On A Tarp

Sound By Nature ·

2023/02/19

I recorded this on my recent three night snow camping trip near Moosehead Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. I made my campsite by digging a pit in the snow and building short walls around it, which I then covered with a nylon tarp. On the final night of my trip, graupel showers started falling, then transitioned to snow. This episode consists of two recordings I made in my campsite under the tarp that night, the first part is a heavy graupel shower that passed

126: Woodpeckers On A Winter Morning

Sound By Nature ·

2023/02/16

This was recorded on a cold, cloudy, and breezy morning in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. There was a small group of dead standing Red Fir trees not far from my campsite that a pair of Downy Woodpeckers were busily pecking at looking for insects beneath the bark. Mountain Chickadees and Red Breasted Nuthatches can be heard in the background, and a pair of curious Ravens fly by to see what all the ruckus is about. This recording is one of several I made while on a three

125: Winter Afternoon Beside Moosehead Creek

Sound By Nature ·

2023/02/14

I gathered this recording beside Moosehead Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. It was a clear and sunny afternoon with light to moderate wind blowing through the trees. Deep snow covered the ground and much of the creek, though some stretches were exposed at the bottom of deep channels which had formed in the snow above the creek and allowed the sound of trickling water and dripping snowmelt to be heard from above. The occasional splash is heard from small chunks of

Sound By Nature ·

2023/01/29

This was recorded on a cool and clear winter day while walking on the Pacific Crest Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. The recording starts beside Butcherknife Creek, then follows the trail north to Water Strider Creek. The trail starts off covered in snow, which becomes increasingly patchy, then passes over mostly bare forest floor. It crosses a small stream and a creek as it winds it's way in and out of shady gullies through dense coniferous forest. I made this

123: Winter Day Beside Water Strider Creek

Sound By Nature ·

2023/01/28

This was recorded on clear and cool winter day beside Water Strider Creek on the Pacific Crest Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. I set the microphone up on the edge of the small creek where it crosses the trail in a deep and heavily forested gully. While this was recording I hiked down the trail to Butcherknife Creek, then made a binaural recording as I walked back to Water Strider Creek. You can hear that recording in the next episode. I could really use your

This episode picks up where the previous episode left off on a rainy winter night in the forest near the Pacific Crest Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. In this second part of the recording the wind picks up and the rain falls more heavily as the night passes by and morning draws near. I could really use your support.

2023/01/15

This recording was gathered on a rainy winter night in the dense forest near the Pacific Crest Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. The wind was calm and the rain fell steadily on the snowy forest floor. This is the first part of an all night recording. During the second part of the night the wind picks up and the rain becomes heavier; you can hear it in the next episode. I made this by using the tree ears recording technique, in which a microphone is placed on either

Bonus! Binaural Snowshoeing

Sound By Nature ·

2022/12/05

I recorded this while snowshoeing in the forest outside of the small town of McCloud in Siskiyou County, California. We received more than a foot of snow over the few days prior to the day this was recorded, with a couple inches of fresh snow the night before, and I wanted to try making a binaural recording while snowshoeing. I was carrying an umbrella because the snow was wet and melting out of the trees, and I was wearing a fleece jacket(my snow jacket is really noisy while walking and moving

119: Blustery Autumn Day Beneath California Black Oaks

Sound By Nature ·

2022/11/29

This was recorded on a cold and blustery autumn day at the foot of Mount Shasta in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The wind blows steadily through the tops of the tall Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, and White Fir trees in the surrounding forest, with gusts swirling down now and then to rustle the dry leaves of the California Black Oak trees under which I set up the microphone. Oak leaves can be heard falling to the forest floor after they've been freed from their twigs by

118: Binaural Nature Walk- From Town Into The Forest...

Sound By Nature ·

2022/11/10

This one is a little different than my usual recordings. I normally make recordings that are farther from civilization, but I thought this sounded nice, so I'm sharing it with you. I hope you like it! I recorded this while walking in the fresh snow from my house in the small town of McCloud out into the forest and back. It was snowing when I left my house, then it turned to a rain and snow mix on my way back home. The sounds of the small town fade into the distance as I walk nearly two miles into

Sound By Nature ·

2022/10/21

I recorded this on a warm and sunny autumn afternoon while walking the full length of the Cabin Creek Trail. The recording starts at the trail's end near Beartrap Creek, then follows Squaw Valley Creek upstream for five miles, and ends at the trailhead near Cabin Creek. This recording was made using the binaural recording technique in which a small microphone is placed in each ear, the same way you would with earbud headphones, with the microphone facing out in order to capture sound as closely as

Bonus! Little Crater Lake- Water Laps And A Small Stream

Sound By Nature ·

2022/10/18

I recorded this on a warm fall afternoon at Little Crater Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. This bonus episode is composed of two recordings I made at the lake. The first half is the sound of wind ripples lapping against the rocky east shore of the lake, and the second half is of a small stream as it emerges from the base of a steep, bouldered slope at the south end of the lake. I would have liked to get a long recording that I could use for a full episode, but a
