Episode 69: Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park- Nighttime Frog Chorus

This recording was gathered on a clear, cool night beside a small wet meadow near the Ja She Creek Campground in Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, Shasta County, California. The frogs sang in chorus continuously before an unidentified animal walked onto the wet and grassy stage and compelled them to end their performance. There is unfortunately some noise pollution on this recording, in the form of air traffic, but the frogs were singing loudly and I didn't think it overshadowed their performance.
