Episode 97: Rainy Morning At Bigelow Meadow

This was recorded on a rainy morning in early spring at Bigelow Meadow in the Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. Though it was recorded on the day before the spring equinox and therefore technically still winter, Mother Nature doesn't strictly follow the calendar and the sound of birdsong is a clear indicator that spring has arrived to the McCloud River area of Northern California.

There is air traffic on this recording, a form of noise pollution which is unfortunately unavoidable on long recordings in this part of the state.

I hope and pray for an abrupt end to the war in Ukraine, and for the person who started it to be held fully accountable for the war crimes which have been committed as a direct result of his unprovoked aggression. PEACE FOR UKRAINE!!!🇺🇦
