The Other Side of Sorrow

This recording is my first day testing the DIY hydrophones from the amazing Instructable by Jules Ryckebush. It is actually recorded at my second location for the day as the first location just had too many crackles and pops from mussels living under the dock. You can still hear them in the recording from this location, as you can cars passing over the concrete bridge; what is really interesting is what sounds like a clucking and croaking at different distances. At first, I thought this was dolphins but after recording some recently and doing more research on underwater sound have concluded they are most likely Croakers. An abundant fish in the Seal Beach area that gets its name from the croaking sound it makes. 

Recorded at the mouth of the San Gabriel River on the bridge that connects Long Beach to Seal Beach.

I will be doing some more research on those sounds. I would love to record from this location at night but the homeless camp nearby tells that may not be safe. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this recording.

An especially busy day underwater at one of my favorite hydrophone listening spots; the Marina Drive bridge between Long Beach and Seal Beach. I can hear croakers, for sure, and what may also be garabaldi. I have seen, and heard them over in the marina and the popping sound they make is pretty distinct.
