This was recorded early on a clear spring morning in the forest near White Deer Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

The recording starts about an hour before sunrise as the birds were just beginning to sing, and the frogs were winding down their nighttime chorus. You'll hear many different birds on this recording including Great Horned Owl, American Robin, Hammond's Flycatcher, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Mountain Chickadee, Cassin's Vireo, Western Tanager, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Hermit Warbler, Red-breasted Nuthatch and more. One sound I was particularly happy to capture is the booming wing sound of the Common Nighthawk, which is made by males as they dive at females during courtship.
