Binaural recording of the Pacific Spirit Forest near the last Spanish Banks concession stand, on July 8, 2023. The are 8 separate recordings from different parts of the forest along various trails. I started at the bottom near the remediated salmon stream, then went up for a while, then West, up again, West and back down, then East, then down to the starting point.

The main soundtrack this time of year is the Swainson's Thrush which has that spiralling-up sound. But of course many other birds can be heard. At the beginning there are crows, including baby ones. I also heard flycatchers, nuthatches, chickadees, wrens, and sparrows. 

There are lots of cars and planes. It's amazing how many planes are always passing overhead. It used to really bother me when I was recording. Now I figure that's just the truth of it. It's still really nice to be in the forest no matter what. My hearing mind emphasizes the birds.

Start time: 5:02pm
End time: 6:29pm
