Recordist's notes

Great Cormorants (カワウ) nesting high in trees along Yasugawa (river) in Rittō City, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. We can also hear great egrets nesting nearby, as well other birds and some human activity. This recording was made with a Sony PCM-M10 recorder and a pair of small omnidirectional mics tied to a tree. Post-processing with Audacity on Fedora Linux included only trimming and fade-in/fade-out (no compression or EQ).
