Episode 77: Streamside Jeffrey Pine Tree Ears

This recording was gathered beside a spring fed stream from the trunk of a Jeffrey Pine tree high up in the watershed of the Middle Fork of the Sacramento River, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was a warm evening with occasional breezes, singing birds, and buzzing insects as the cold mountain stream trickled by. The low call of a male Sooty Grouse can be heard in the distance. There is a little noise pollution in the form of air traffic on this recording, but I felt that it wasn't too bad not to release it.
