Steady rainfall decreases and the night chorus is active; I recorded this with a double-mid-side system

Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest Night

Insects and frogs call throughout the night in the cloud forest near a small stream, and some wind gusts pass through the canopy, shaking rain drops down.  The rain was light and falling through the foliage.  I recorded this with a Double Mid-side system.

Costa Rica Cloud Forest Night Chorus Near Small Stream with Gentle Rain and Wind

I enjoyed recording some winds recently, in this section there are some grasses, loose sand, and occasional birdsong, and various tones from the shape of the spot where I had the mics

Desert Wind with Grasses and Sand

This is a long recording from a ridge near the ocean, so the surf is in the background, there is bird and animal activity at dusk and dawn, and a big thunderstorm rolls in.  The Yellow-Throated Toucan is very active, and the Scarlet Macaws, Tinamou, and Mantled Howler Monkeys are also calling at dusk. I removed one section of a few minutes where the rainfall was so heavy it started leaking through and hitting the mics but otherwise left this recording intact.  I used my Sennheiser Double MidSide system with a Sound Devices MixPre recorder.

Dusk To Dawn Costa Rica Osa Peninsula Coastal Forest Thunderstorm

Some pretty active birds and insects, then rain onset in the cloud forest in Costa Rica.

Birdy Rain Onset in Cloud Forest, Costa Rica

I recorded this with a pair of omnidirectional mics- this is just before dawn and the monkey is near the beach

Coastal Jungle Howler Monkey

Another selection from my time recording wind blowing across sand dunes with some dry grasses.

Desert Wind With Grasses and Sand 2

I put some mics into a flowering desert lavender shrub where there were lots of busy bees, and other flying insects, and the wind was pretty steadily gusting through the branches

Flowering Desert Lavender Shrub with Bees and Steady Gusting Wind

It was nice to hear the Common Poorwill calling at dusk, and cactus wrens, black-throated sparrows.  There is a lot of wind through the vegetation in this, and there were lots of grasses in the area.  I used the double mid-side system to record this.

Mojave Dusk Birdsong and Wind

This recording is quiet, so be careful if you bring the volume up and then let it roll to the next track!  The mics are inside a little cave in the rock face, in a steep sided canyon.  Canyon wrens and some other birds were active at dusk and some coyotes called a little ways away.  There are flying insects with buzzy tones and some wings flapping sometimes.  It's a weird sounding spot!

Nice winter storm I recorded with a double mid-side system, I love hearing the wind through the pines

Cold Rain And Wind Through Rocks And A Pinyon Pine Tree

My favorite willow on the block, has a beautiful tone and creaky details in wind.  The power lines above it sometimes sound like this in the wind.  Recorded with Sennheiser Double MidSide.  Later that night it snowed too.
