This was recorded on a warm and sunny late spring afternoon by the side of forest road 39N05 near the East Fork of the Salmon River in Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

This was recorded on a beautiful spring morning in the forest near Six Shooter Butte in Sattitla Highlands National Monument, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. A gentle breeze blew steadily through the fir and pine trees above as the birds began to sing in the faint light of dawn.

This was recorded on a cold spring night beside rapids on the swiftly flowing North Fork of the Salmon River in Klamath National Forest, Siskiyou County, California.

The Salmon River is part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and is free of dams and significant flow diversions of any sort. The river and its watershed are located entirely with the remote and rugged Klamath Mountains in far northern California.

I strapped the mic to an Alder tree such that it was overhanging the water at the river's edge, which had nothing to do with the fact that I forgot to bring my tripod, I swear.

This was recorded on a breezy spring afternoon in the forest beside the Pacific Crest Trail in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. Listen for the footsteps of a passing hiker, that thankfully didn't disturb my conspicuously placed microphone, early in the recording.

This was recorded on a clear spring night beside Dry Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The recording starts just before midnight and ends just before sunrise.
