Episode 34: Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge- Winter Morning Feb 15, 2020

Show notes

This episode was recorded on a clear and calm February morning at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge in Siskiyou County, California. Located on the border with California and Oregon, Lower Klamath NWR was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 as the first waterfowl refuge in the United States, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. From Wikipedia: "The refuge includes shallow freshwater marshes, open water, grassy uplands, and croplands that are intensively managed to provide foraging and breeding habitat for waterfowl and other animals. The market hunting of migratory birds in the late 19th century created the need for preservation and creation of a wildlife refuge."

Bonus! A Dip in the Lake Dec 11, 2019

Episode 30: Mount Shasta- Clear Creek Springs Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

Show notes

Show notes

This recording was gathered in a stand of Quaking Aspen(populus tremuloides) in the Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area at the edge of Bigelow Meadow in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

Episode 27: Midnight Paddle on Medicine Lake Aug 29, 2019

Show notes

This was recorded on a clear summer night while paddling a canoe on Medicine Lake in Modoc National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. Medicine Lake lies in the caldera of the Medicine Lake Volcano, a shield volcano in the southern end of the Cascade Range. Remotely located, there is little or no light pollution to obscure the night sky, and as such the stars shone brightly on this moonless night. The air was still and the glassy surface of the lake perfectly reflected the stars above, which elicited the surreal sensation of paddling through the heavens. A Great Horned Owl called from the forest near the lakeshore.

Episode 26: Mount Shasta- Brewer Creek Aug 24, 2019

Show notes

This recording was made at Brewer Creek on the east side of Mount Shasta in the Mount Shasta Wilderness, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I gathered this recording from a boulder in the middle of the creek, well above treeline, just below where it surfaced from beneath an expansive snow field. The water cascaded through the scree, which had tumbled into its course, before disappearing beneath another snow field not far downstream. It was a beautiful, clear, warm, and sunny summer day.
