Recordist's notes
5 Common Eider couples hanging out in a cove, calling to each other and squabbling occasionally. It's afternoon rush hour on a beautiful sunny Monday in Maine. You can hear constant, low-level hum of traffic from I-95 in the distance as well as walkers on the nearby trail and an airplane passing overhead around 1:25. Rhoda the puppy playing in the sand and jingling her collar. Recorded with an Olypus LS-10 and LOM mikroUši
