DESCRIPTION: 

In High Desert Ambiences 2, explore a large collection of beautiful, tranquil sounds from remote desert locations across the American southwest. Enjoy listening to the rising sun awaken the desert wildlife. This serene collection features sounds that will make you fall in love with the harmonious desert dawn; sounds include white doves cooing, woodpeckers hammering, white-throated swifts swirling in flocks, and much more. Featured like never before are Swainson’s hawks so close you can hear the whoosh of their wings as their powerful wings cut through the air. For the second installment of the my extensive, peaceful nature sounds from the heart of the American Southwest, here's High Desert Ambiences 2 – Active Nature.

KEY FEATURES:

• Swainson’s Hawks – a male and female recorded near their nest in a 200-foot cliff. Recordings are from below the nest and include close, distant, circling, diving, and soaring perspectives.
• White-Throated Swifts – flocks of small barn swallow-like birds circling, darting, and whooshing in front of a desert cliff. 
• Other Birds Included: Canyon Wren, Bewick’s Wren, Montezuma Quail, White-Winged Dove, Western Screech-Owl, Auodad Sheep, Rufuos-Crowned Sparrow, Eastern Meadowlark, and many more labeled as “songbirds” if not identified by species. 
• Quiet Nature Tracks – these filenames start with “quiet desert” and are sparse ambiences recorded at the threshold of hearing and normalized to -30 dBFS. 
• Quiet Desert Tracks have low wildlife activity and are perfect “natural roomtones” to use as the foundation of a designed environment. 
• Most files are 3-6 minutes in length
• Tracks normalized between -20 and -30 dBFS
• Named markers included in each file to help find interesting events in an otherwise uniform waveform. Starting in Soundminer 4.5Pro_v252 you can now read the text markers from within Soundminer!
• Marker text included in the Soundminer description and BWAV description fields.
• *Note – I self-identified all birds using several iOS apps and bird identification websites, so I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy on species identification.

In High Desert Ambiences 4: Coyotes, I revisit the place where my field recording journey started: West Texas. On my drive out, a massive wildfire was burning large parts of the Davis Mountains. Luckily, the day I arrived firefighters were able to able to contain the blaze, but sadly, not before 20,000 acres burned. That night, I was recording from the edge of the dead fire. I was stunned to hear howling deep in the valley! The coyote pack had run into the mountains to escape the blaze.

In this library, hear the angsty vocals of coyotes running to escape a wildfire. Hear the howls and yips of an extremely close pack bouncing from high valley walls. Hear a coyote echo chamber filled with haunting howls that can only be made by an animal who just had its home burned.
