Listen deep into the forest in this unusually quiet place along California's Highway 49. The usual small forest birds are present along with an occasional jay, a couple of drumming woodpeckers, and a finally a barking squirrel.

This recording was made during the annual field recording workshop of the Nature Sounds Society. This clip is a stereo (Lo/Ro) mixdown of a six channel immersive surround recording (4.0.2). The microphones are Sennheiser MKH-8000 series. This is a very quiet place—the recording was amplified 28dB for this upload.
