Name: Dusk By The River In The Amazon Rainforest by George Vlad
Duration: 9 min 8 s
Description: Dawn and dusk in the Amazon rainforest are particularly lush when it comes to biophony, especially by a slow flowing river. The stark contrast between the beauty of birdsong and the shrill urgency of insect calls is never as evident. Long version at https://youtu.be/Rq6eMZyVFtk

I love evening recordings. The sound of a place quieting down for night is so much more peaceful than the sound of it waking up. This is beautiful.

Dusk By The River In The Amazon Rainforest

The symphony of wildlife in the rainforest is more minimalistic but piercing and almost electronic. It takes a while to get accustomed to being surrounded by these sounds, but once you do it's like they've always been there. Long version at https://youtu.be/TiMJASuJmFg

Chitwan is one of Nepal's most popular national parks and is a haven to some of the sub-continent's most beautiful animals. Healthy populations of Indian one-horned rhinoceros, asian elephant, bengal tiger, leopard and sloth bear live in Chitwan's forests and grasslands, as well as around 500 species of bird.  

This album was recorded in riverine forest adjacent to the Rapti River, a major waterway flowing along the park's boundary. The week leading up to the recording, storm clouds had been gathering in the late afternoon, and releasing heavy downpours. Before each storm, the afternoon birdsong is was particularly rich. Dark clouds continue to form, surrounding the forest, grumbling and rolling continuously. This particular afternoon, the rainfall was lighter than usual, and soon enough the storm had passed, birds singing again as the sky brightened.
