Recordist's notes
Morning sounds from a street corner near the northern end of Old Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Great-tailed grackles and some other birds I can't identify, a few cars and folks walking to work. This used to be a fishing village, now seems like a mostly pretty quiet resort town. This was a couple of days before Christmas and temperature was very nice t-shirt weather. Recorded with an Olympus LS-10 and LOM mikroUši's.
