Deus ex machina - 25/2/2022 - Makholma Woods

Recorded at Lake Nuga Nuga, Queensland on a warm summer morning. The sounds of Pied & Grey Butcherbirds carry across the lake from the forested edge along with the songs of many other bushland birds. Crickets trill from the grasses near the water and the hum of bees fill the air. Australian Pelicans patrol the lake, splashing in the water as they hunt for fish.

Summer night on Hällsjön at around 1:00am. Eurasian Bittern, Common Snipe, Eurasian Woodcock, Sedge Warbler and many more species were actively calling 
through the (short!) night.

It's the end of June. Most birds are engaged in breeding chicks or the chicks have already left the nest. There aren't many forest birds who sing anymore. I find Icterine Warbler singing in the black alder forest. At some point, Wren will join him. 
Recording contains sound that sounds like white noise. The air is no longer crystal clear like the mornings of May. Wind in the leaves, the insects and maybe my new pair of em-172 microphones are contributing to this. From time to time there is a knocking sound, these are two trunks of trees that are pushed together by the wind. The photo was taken exactly where the sound was recorded. I believe there is some kind of crepis in the picture

Three different moments within a quiet windless night. This is not an exceptional recording but I like the atmosphere anyway.
A howl, a fox and a blackbird can be heard as well as a frog and probably some rodents close to the tripod.
The microphones and the recorder have been left the whole night.
The photo has been shot in the morning when I came back to pick the stuff up.

Recorded with a Nagra Ares BB+, Neumann KM184, ORTF near my house, in la Creuse, France.

220725 A Quiet Night in the Woods

Superb Lyrebird calling in the early morning, not long after dawn, in the Jamison Valley. This particular area of the Jamison Valley is on the slopes of the Narrow Neck Plateau and is covered in lush, wet sclerophyll forest, which borders a small pocket of rainforest.
Some of the birds the lyrebird mimics in this performance are: Laughing Kookaburra, Satin Bowerbird, Eastern Whipbird, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Lewin's Honeyeater, Pied Currawong, Crimson Rosella, Pilotbird, Australian King Parrot. Many of the odd sounds it makes are pure Lyrebird calls as they do have their own unique repertoire. 
In the background you can hear many Bell Miners twinkling.

Early Morning - Dishpan Ridge - B

Today's high-speed, high-anxiety social media culture comes at us 24/7 with a torrent of noise and flimflammery. As my sweet, now-departed mother-in-law used to say, it's "crazy-making!"

MinnesotaSoundscapes.com is my small attempt to offer a measure of temporary relief from the madness. It's a collection of stereo sound portraits captured in quiet, remote locations across northern Minnesota. No music, just clean, spacious natural ambiences.

(WARNING: This material won't grab you by the ankles and swing you around in circles the way you might expect from some of your favorite music. If you choose to listen, be prepared to "throttle yourself back" and allow these nature soundscape recordings to settle over you in their own good time. If you're able to do that, there's a good chance that you might enjoy a rewarding listening experience.)
