This recording was gathered on a clear spring morning in the Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts just before dawn and continues until late in the morning.   I received production assistance for this recording from my daughter Sierra. She chose an excellent location to set up the microphone and recorder for an overnight recording. We set up early in the evening on the day before this was recorded, and I was happy to find everything undisturbed by bears or other wildlife the next morning when I retrieved it.   Please donate!

The war crimes and atrocities committed against the people of Ukraine are truly sickening and I hope those responsible are held fully accountable for their heinous and unconscionable actions. PEACE FOR UKRAINE!!!🇺🇦  I hope that wherever you are in the world you are healthy, safe, and sound. Thank you for listening.
