This was recorded overnight beside a mountain stream at the edge of a meadow in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was a calm and cool night and, aside from the sound of the water, was fairly quiet until the birds begin to sing at dawn. The recording starts at about 10:30 at night and continues until about 6:30 in the morning.

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 Lodgepole Pine that was standing beside the stream.
