Steve, these are pretty cool! However,  I am hearing a constant low background noise (almost freeway like noise) doesn't sound like wind or anything natural (maybe equipment/gain noise?). These would be even more awesome if that could be eliminated.

The creek stopped flowing but there is plenty of wildlife activity in the dawn chorus soundscape in the creek bed of the East Fork of Coyote Creek. In addition to common wrens, finches, and jays, we hear nuthatches, mourning doves, distant quail, acorn woodpeckers, wild turkey, and perhaps a distant cow. We we also hear the roar of distant civilization and light wind at less than 2 MPH.

For this stereo recording the microphones are Sennheiser MKH-8020 on a Jecklin disk baffle.

This upload has been amplified 17 dB from the original 24-bit recording level.

Bull Frogs at Frog Lake (Henry W. Coe State Park)

Coe Park is the largest state park in northern California, with over 87,000 acres of wild open spaces.  The terrain of the park is rugged, varied, and beautiful, with lofty ridges and steep canyons. Once the home of Ohlone Indians, the park is now home to a fascinating variety of plants and animals, including the elusive mountain lion. Within Coe Park are the headwaters of Coyote Creek, long stretches of the Pacheco and Orestimba creeks, and a 23,300-acre wilderness area.
These recordings are part of a soundscape inventory project managed through the San Francisco based Nature Sounds Society.
