Show notes

This was recorded in the Eddys mountains, a sub-range of the Trinity Mountains, which in turn is a sub-range of the Klamath Mountains, in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

Bonus! Half Frozen Toad Lake Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

This was recorded on a cold autumn day at half frozen Toad Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The wind ripples on the open water were pushing bits and pieces of broken ice against the edge of the frozen half of the lake, which created some interesting sounds.

Episode 88: Autumn Day Beside Tom Neal Creek Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

This was recorded on a clear autumn day beside Tom Neal Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. The creek runs through a deep, wooded canyon in a remote, rugged, and wild area of the forest.

I made a recording for the podcast at this location before(episode 8), but I wanted to come back as it is a favorite place of mine and is far away from the sources of noise pollution which have plagued my many attempts at collecting recordings for you over the past few weeks.

I'd really like to thank my monthly supporters and the few of you that have donated to the podcast. I am extremely grateful for your help. Thank you!

Show notes

This was recorded on a stormy autumn day at Shastine Crater on the south flank of the Medicine Lake Volcano, a large shield volcano in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The rainfall dripped from the over hanging rim of the small volcanic spatter cone under which the microphone was placed, while strong and gusty winds blew through nearby fir and pine trees.

Episode 86: Autumn Day Beside Bear Creek Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

This recording was gathered on a brisk autumn day in the Trinity Mountains beside Bear Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Trinity County, California. Light wind blows steadily through the trees above as the creek trickles by. Listen for the sound of Dark Eyed Juncos fluttering around in the nearby trees about ten minutes into the recording.

I made a previous attempt at gathering a recording in this area a few days before this, but it is was a holiday weekend during hunting season and the sound of distant gunshots could be heard on the recording I made that day. So I returned to the area on a weekday and was fortunate to obtain this recording which is free from the unpleasant, if not disturbing, sound of gunfire.

Episode 85: Footbridge Over the McCloud River Oct 03, 2021

Show notes

This was recorded on the Pacific Crest Trail footbridge over the McCloud River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. It was a warm, clear, and beautiful day in the deep and densely forested canyon which this stretch of the river flows through.

Episode 84: Wind in Quaking Aspen at Summer's End Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

This recording was gathered at the very end of summer in a stand of Quaking Aspen at Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was a clear, sunny, and breezy afternoon at the start of this very long recording, with the wind calming down towards the end, and as sunset drew near tree crickets began to sing. There is a little air traffic in this episode, but it is to be expected on such a long recording in this part of the state.

Episode 83: Late Summer Rain Sep 19, 2021

Show notes

This was recorded near the end of summer in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. It was the first significant rain we received in Northern California for quite some time and provided a welcome relief from the wildfire smoke that has been lingering in the area for much of the summer. I gathered this recording on the first day the forest reopened after it had been closed for nearly a month due to numerous wildfires burning throughout the state, a lack of resources to fight any new fires, and extreme fire danger caused in large part by an ongoing drought throughout much of the western United States. It was very nice to be back in the forest after such a long closure.

Episode 82: Summer Afternoon Beside Squaw Valley Creek Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

This recording was gathered on a summer afternoon beside Squaw Valley Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. Squaw Valley Creek originates from springs above the tree line high on Mount Shasta then descends the mountain and makes it's way into the deep, forested, and shady canyon where this was recorded. It was a beautiful summer day, though a bit smoky from the numerous large wildfires burning throughout Northern California at the time of recording.
