What extraordinary sounds. Excellent capture!

Early morning by little Rengaskari Reef, less than a mile from our shore. This is an excerpt from an over night recording. Had to do a low cut as there's been some low rumble from an unknown source that has affected all nightly recordings of this spring from the sea side. (and is still audible)
Birds: Common Eider, Greylag Goose, Barnacle Goose, Mew Gull

Trumpeter Swans on Lake Ontario, Leslie Spit, Toronto, November

Trumpeter Swans

Recorded at Grundskatan, Bjuröklubb, morning the 16 May 2018. A wet area with much leafy trees (alskog) near the shore of the Bothnian bay, Bottenviken. The two Woodpeckers were foraging at the trees.
Gear: two Sennheiser MKH20 in stereo on a Jecklin disc. Recording was running for about 30 min.

Frogs and White-backed Woodpecker

5 AM, still in the darkness of mid-March morning, a pair of tawny owls starts vocalising at their would-be nesting grounds. They are probably still in courting phase. Female was desperately calling all through previous evening and male repeatedly approached. In the morning, first thing they did was passionately-sounding lovemaking...  At least that is my interpretation of the audio  recording. 
13. March 2022, 5 AM. Meoma, Estonia. Unattended recording (12 hours). Dogs and rooster in background.

Tawny Owls In Love

A short and quick test for Zoom F3 and Dodotronic Hi-Sound stereo 2 + 2 AOM 5024 Phantom Power 48Volt stereo parabolic microphone.

Zoom F3 - Dodotronic HiSound Stereo - Nightingale Song

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.

Haunting Red Deer rutting in the forest of Orléans

Features American Robin, Cordilleran Flycatcher, Mexican Spotted Owl, Common Nighthawk, Hermit Thrush, Mexican Whippoorwill, and listen close for the barking of the Elegant Trogon.  Much of this area was burned in a wildfire in 2022.

I've been recording wildlife sounds since 1968. Member of Wildlife Sound Recording Society since 1975, and currently their Sound Magazine Editor. Special interest in vocabulary recording. I rarely use any studio processing, believing that attention to good fieldcraft should render this unnecessary. 
Winner of several UK & international awards for wildlife sound recording.
