This was recorded on Easter morning beside the Upper McCloud River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was a refreshingly crisp spring morning, with a thin blanket of recently fallen spring snow covering the banks of the river. 

There is some air traffic on this recording, and you may hear some faint sounds from the distant highway.

I continue to hope for an abrupt end to the war against Ukraine. The suffering of the Ukrainian people at the hands of a megalomaniacal autocrat is absolutely unjustifiable. PEACE FOR UKRAINE!!!

I hope that wherever you are hearing this, that it benefits you in some small way. Thank you very much for listening. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay sound.
