Lake Russell Recreation Area Campground Sunrise - Springtime

 This audio recording captures the serene and immersive soundscape of the awakening minutes of sunrise at a campground in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, near Mount Airy, GA - in early Spring. As dawn breaks, the environment slowly comes to life with bird calls, and the gradual crescendo of a waking ecosystem and human activity (see if you can hear the fish jump, a tent zipper at a nearby site and trucks rolling with boats towing behind). From the stark calls of early morning songbirds to campers splitting firewood for breakfast and a nearby dog saying hello to people walking by, this 15 minute audio check-in offers a peaceful, completely unfiltered window into waking up in this southern patch of a National Forest. (It even closes out with the sound of a single engine prop plane flying by.) Enjoy!
