187: South Warner Wilderness- Amidst Quaking Aspens Near South Fork Emerson Creek
This was recorded on a cloudy night in early autumn in a stand of Quaking Aspen near the South Fork of Emerson Creek in the South Warner Wilderness, Modoc National Forest, Modoc County, California. The night was cool, and gentle breezes rustled the leaves of the Aspens throughout the night. Listen for the sound of a lone elk bugling just past the one minute mark.

186: Russian Wilderness- Sugar Creek
This was recorded on a calm summer night beside Sugar Creek in the Sugar Creek Research Natural Area, which is located within the Russian Wilderness, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The creek flows down the east side of the Salmon Mountains, a subrange of the Klamath Mountains, in far northern California. The creek was low for this time of year, owing to a meager snowpack that had already melted entirely. The Sugar Creek Research Natural Area is a unique and special place. According to the U.S. Forest Service it was created "primarily to preserve the richest known assemblage of conifers in the world", in an area that has "essentially remained unchanged by humans since before the European colonization of California".

184: Marble Mountains Wilderness- Frogs at Summit Meadow Lake
This was recorded on a clear spring night under a full moon beside Summit Meadow Lake in Marble Mountains Wilderness, Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. I recorded this tree ears style, in which a mic is placed on either side of the trunk of a tree, in this case a Red Fir. Though I recorded all night, this part of the recording is from the wee hours of the night when the frog chorus was starting to die down.

183: Breezy Spring Morning on the Trinity Divide
This was recorded on a cold and breezy spring morning near an unnamed pond on the east side of the Trinity Divide in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts a little after 4 a.m., and a little before the birds began their dawn chorus.

Bonus! Hermit Thrush in Trail Gulch
I heard my first Hermit Thrush song of the year this week while walking my dog Molly in the forest outside the little town I live in here in Northern California, so I thought it'd be a good time to share this recording I made last summer of a Hermit Thrush singing in the forest in Trail Gulch, just north of the Trinity Alps Wilderness. You'll hear a few other birds singing, but the Hermit Thrush has the spotlight. I hope you enjoy it!!

182: Early Spring Night On The North Fork Of The Salmon River
This was recorded on a peaceful night in early spring atop a rocky outcrop which jutted out into the North Fork of the Salmon River just downstream of Mule Bridge in Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The night was clear and unseasonably warm for the time of year. The recording runs from about nine at night till about seven in the morning. Though this was recorded two weeks before the official spring equinox I feel comfortable calling it a spring night after the exceptionally mild and short winter in Northern California. Not to mention that as I lay in my tent at dawn while this was recording, I was greeted by the song of an American Robin, a sure sign of spring. I really want to thank everyone that has taken the time to rate and review the podcast, I deeply appreciate your kind words. And I'd like to thank those of you that have commented on the episodes in Spotify, I very much enjoy hearing your thoughts on the recordings. And I especially want to thank the few of you that have donated to the podcast on my, frankly, pitiful and outdated website. It really, really needs to be updated. I haven't touched in at least a couple of years, and it was built a minimum of effort to begin with. I guess I'd rather spend the little free time I have in the field making recordings, not sitting in front of a computer trying to build a website. So it goes.

181: Lost Coast- Outgoing Tide On A Winter Afternoon
This was recorded on a calm and sunny winter afternoon on the beach below Smith Gulch on the Lost Coast in the King Range National Conservation Area, Humboldt County, California. The tide was going out, so I set the mic up near the water in the intertidal zone at the border between an area of rocks and tide pools and a sandy stretch of beach. The sand was very coarse, almost tiny pebbles, and it made a pleasant sound as the waves washed up and down the beach. At the start of the recording the waves lapped at the shore only a few feet from the mic, but the tide receded quickly and by the end of this recording it was nearly twenty feet away.
