April Fool's Day Recordings

These recordings were made April 1 starting around 0930. The peepers were mostly quiet, the wood frogs almost done with their spring bacchanal.

The first recording is 15 minutes long, a bit of a travelogue, a bit of a dialog on the weather, the chestnut trees and then some blessed silence (in other words, I'm not talking) on the little peninsula on the north side.

The second recording continues with blackbirds, a song sparrow or two and six highly irritated Canada geese who took off in dramatic fashion. Here's the next 30 minutes on the marsh.

It includes a meeting with two very happy and very wet golden retrievers and their owners on the bridge. We were all a little damp as a result.

Much of this recording would be fine if you want to feel like you're sitting by the marsh on a warm day, reading a book perhaps and listening, with half an ear, to what the locals are up to. Well, that and the occasional dog breath from Louie, my footsteps and the aforementioned retriever encounter.
