This was recorded on a clear and bright moonlit night beside the McCloud River Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was the warmest night of spring so far and the moon was close to full. The recording starts just after sunset as the birds were singing their last songs of the day and the frogs were warming up for their nightly chorus.

There is a little bit of air traffic but none of it passed directly overhead and therefore wasn't too loud. Considering the length of this recording, four jets in four hours is not too bad. I made two previous attempts to record the frogs at this location, and both times there was much more air traffic. So I considered this time a success. I hope you enjoy it!
