108: Dawn Chorus And Rain At Bigelow Meadow

This was recorded on a rainy morning in late spring beside Bigelow Meadow in the Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts as the dawn chorus was well under way and just as the rain began to fall. This recording was made tree ears style, with a microphone placed on either side of the trunk of a small Incense Cedar tree growing beneath a large Ponderosa Pine amongst a cluster of Quaking Aspen.

There is some air traffic on this recording.

I hope wherever you are listening that this benefits you in some small way, that it inspires you to get outside and into nature yourself, and also to protect and preserve our fragile natural world any way you can. I am also hoping for an end to all war and conflict around the world, and an end to the tragic mass shootings that happen with disturbing frequency in this country. Thank you very much for listening. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay sound.
