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.
