This was recorded in the forest on a clear summer morning high in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The air was cool but not cold, in fact relatively warm for 6,700 feet elevation. The rushing water of several streams is heard in the distance as they cascade down the sides of the valley before eventually coming together to form the North Fork of the Sacramento River.

In this recording you'll hear many different birds including Western Wood-Pewee, Olive Sided Flycatcher, Warbling Vireo, Mountain Chickadee, Dark-eyed Junco, American Robin, Chipping Sparrow, Hairy Woodpecker, and many more.

I recorded this during a short, two-night backpacking trip to the area in early July. In order to save weight, I brought a minimal recording set up which included a small recorder, power bank, and a pair of microphones. I used the tree ears recording technique for this recording, in this case a mature Western White Pine.
