128: Late Winter Morning Beside Squaw Valley Creek

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 beneath the water of rocky, fast moving streams, creeks, and rivers. One of the rocks had a few droppings on it, so I knew that they were in the area. Luckily while I was setting up the recording rig a Dipper flew in, perched atop a rock, and watched me curiously as I set up. You'll hear it's song over the rush of the water a few times on this recording, as well as the brash calls of the Steller's Jay.
