This recording was gathered on a hot summer day beside a cold, spring fed mountain stream with cicadas singing in nearby trees in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Trinity County, California.  I need your help. This podcast is independently produced by me alone and is made possible in part by contributions from my monthly supporters. I am truly grateful for their support, but what I receive on a monthly basis only covers a small fraction of the cost of bringing you these recordings, not to mention the time and effort I put into this. I would very much like to continue providing you with ad free, thoughtfully collected natural sound, and I would like to travel farther afield to bring you more diverse soundscapes. But in order to do that, I need really your help. Any and all contributions go directly towards producing these episodes, and are greatly appreciated. I am not asking for a large contribution, but I am hoping a large number of you can make a small contribution which will enable me to continue providing you all with authentic natural sound gathered in wild and beautiful locations, and is entirely free from advertising. You can sign up to make a monthly contribution by clicking the support link at the end of this podcast description, or by visiting the donations page of my website at https://soundbynaturepodcast.com/donations/, where you will also have the option of making a one time donation. Thank you to the listeners that have donated to the podcast through my website this past month, I am extremely grateful for your contributions. I hope that more of you will consider doing the same. And thank you to my monthly supporters for your ongoing support, many of you have been backing the podcast for a long time and your continued assistance has motivated me to continue recording and keep improving. Thank you very much for your help!
