Recordist's notes

Emma surveys a yard now free of snow but still covered in last fall's leaves. After noticing a fluttering, battered piece of shrink-wrap a few doors down, she sounds the alarm (the entire road is an extension of her yard, especially during the quiet winter). Also chickadees and a plane overhead. Stereo mic (Audio-Technica, AT-822), recorded via Sony MD (MZ-NF810, pre-amp) and Tascam DR-60DmkII.
