Summertime Bird Songs & Bird Calls

Singing birds of the forest, in the background the woodpecker tapping

The evening of my 5th and final night in the Chattahoochee National Forest brought extreme winds. I setup an LS-10 with a SASS microphone near my camp to capture the ambience. 

This 25min segment is the highlight of the powerful winds that swept over the ridge that night. 

During spring of 2021, I spent 5 nights camping in and recording the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia (4/18 - 4/23). Specifically, I was at the Lake Conasauga overflow campground.

Lake Conasauga is an artificial lake that is very popular with fishing people and camping families. Due to this popularity, I knew before I arrived that I didn't want to camp on the lake itself. As predicted, the lake was very busy (noisy) with people during my stay.

The overflow campground was quiet, empty, and was the location of the songbird trailhead; a trail leading to a mountain pond created by beavers. The area around the pond is managed by the Forest Service for bird diversity.

This trip was the longest period I've ever gone with zero human interaction in my life. From Sunday evening to Friday afternoon, the only people I saw were driving by the campground on the gravel road, and even then there were few vehicles. 

This area within the Chattahoochee blessed me with so many amazing experiences and sounds. By my last day I was filled with so much love and appreciation for the land. I've never felt more connected with our planet.

Please enjoy this presentation of one of the most peaceful places on Earth. Thank you for listening, until later ☼

I would like to state, for the record, that this is the worst river cruise I've ever taken. The zombie crocodiles were bad enough, but the chase for the stolen artifact statue that was taken by the Ice Monkey Lord was really quite too much. And now I'm missing my left shoe. So why are we up sneaking around UFO landing sites? NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!!!
You got some clandestine stuff going on? This track will probably work for any sneakiness anywhere.

River of Io

This was a really fun field recording to make. While hiking at the Douglas Forest, I found a 6" deep pool that had frozen over. There was lots of air trapped under the ice which made for some really great cracking, squeaking and breaking sound effects.

Nature is the originator of ASMR sounds and this is a great example. The textures captured in this recording are so detailed and complex. Enjoy this binaural recording with headphones to fully experience the sound! 

Thanks for listening!
