This recording was gathered in summer beside a small stream flowing through a meadow high in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. This is just one of numerous spring fed streams that flow through numerous meadows into the North Fork of the Sacramento River, which can be heard in the distance.  The recording starts well before dawn at around 2:30 a.m. and continues through sunrise till around 7:00 a.m. Please support this show!
