139: Tree Ears- Passing Thunderstorm East Of Bear Mountain

*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. Thunderstorms were in the weather forecast so I made makeshift rain covers for the mics by making small platforms above them using forked sticks and twigs, upon which I placed a couple large handfuls of pine needles to prevent rain from hitting the microphones directly and causing unwanted noise. It worked very well for the rain that did pass over the area.
