This recording was made at 800am on 6/1/2016 at Finch Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. The area was still quite covered in snow since the elevation of the lake is right around 10,000ft. There are many species of birds to be heard, including Mallard, American wigeon, Gray jay, Brown creeper, Spotted sandpiper, Mountain chickadee, Hairy woodpecker, etc...

The recording was made using a Sound Devices 722 digital recorder and two Audio Technica 4022 omni-directional microphones in a binaural setup.

As always, enjoy with headphones for the best audio experience!
