Frog Hollow

Frog Hollow

I love the sound of frogs singing. When I lived in the Missouri Ozarks, it seemed like there was always that one day in early March where it warmed up just enough so that, off through the woods, you would hear that first, lone frog singing. Calling to find out if there was anyone else around and if they wanted to date.. It was a sweet, high-pitched frog song that I was never able to capture... because the next time it warmed up just enough there were 30 or 40 of them joining in the chorus. I destroyed more than one mic in the process. for a couple of yearsI would run 300 foot cables out into the woods with weather-sealed mics before the hoped for day but then the weather would turn or I would have to run to town... Perhaps I have a recording of them on an ADAT tape... but, if so, it isn't available in my current archives..

Anyhow. this is not that recording. This is a full chorus of frogs. They start and they stop and then one starts singing again and others tentatively join in. it gets pretty wild at times and then it stills down so that all you can hear is a bit of a breeze through the live oaks and a scrub jay making fun. You can identify certain individual frogs and different species. It's an interesting recording and it is 54 minutes of pure nature, no motorcycles or traffic noise. if you Set it on low and loop it all night long. It will make for a restful sleep.

I recorded this east of Gilroy, California. In Henry Coe State Park. In February 2022. A long hike carrying a few dozen lbs of gear to make a nice, long recording

Ocean Waves at Molera Point

I'm not a surfer, though perhaps I would like to be. I like the ocean. Every time I drive out to the coast there is that moment of the first smell of it. Sometime, if the wind is just right, you can be fifteen miles away when you sense the first hint of salt and seaweed. And then there is the thrill when you rise over the hill or curl around the bend and are presented with the far-off horizon.

Spring Songbirds, Patterson California

This is the first field recording it put out for public consumptions. It was recorded the first week of March, 2016 in the Hills east of Patterson, Ca. It was a beautiful Spring morning and I found an acceptable location by a small brook. Birds singing in the area make it a very pretty-sounding location. Unfortunately a gravel truck bame by about every 20 minutes which limited the length of the recording.
