Recordist's notes

Noisy crows calling and responding, quiet Japanese bush warblers and other birds, children playing and other human sounds heard over the rumble of vehicles and aircraft on a Sunday at noon in Ichimiyake, Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Recorded on a Sony PCM-M10 with small omnidirectional mics attached to a bicycle handlebar bag. See details are and photos at Shiga Rivers (https://shigarivers.com/2018/03/19/crows/).
