This was recorded on a partly cloudy and warm summer evening beside Russian Lake in the Russian Wilderness, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The wind was calm and the lake was still as frogs sang in chorus and snowmelt streams flowed gently into the lake on its far side.
This was recorded tree ears style on a Mountain Hemlock tree standing about twenty feet from the lakes edge. The recording starts just after sunset.
This is the first part of what was an all night recording at this spot by the lake. The night started quietly but air traffic picked up due to firefighting operations on the Shelly Fire which was burning about 15 miles to the north. I was hoping to get a good long duration recording at this spot, but the abundance of low flying air traffic, not to mention some curious deer, prevented that from happening.
