Bonus! Spring Equinox Beside Tule River Trail

This was recorded on the Spring Equinox beside the Tule River Trail, near Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, in Shasta County, California. It was a cold and windy day, and I put the microphone in one of the few places in the area that was sheltered from the wind, which was in the tules growing along the waters edge below the levee atop which the trail runs. It wasn't a perfectly sheltered spot, but far better than if the microphone was out in the open. There was an abundance of migrating geese and other waterfowl in the area, as well as Sandhill Cranes, and though unfortunately the strong wind prevented me from placing the microphone in the best place to capture their sounds, I still managed to get some good flybys which I edited together for this bonus episode. You'll also hear the rustling of the dry tules in the wind, and fish surfacing in the water.
