Recordist's notes

Audio track from video made with iPhone 11 Pro with Zoom iQ7 mic, at a little pond in Mount Tabor, NJ. The video documents activity at the pond, including two duck decoys, a turtle, a robin, a willow tree, accompanied by vociferous white-throated sparrows and robins. There is also the sound of a ubiquitous New Jersey Transit train passing the Mount Tabor stop. The video can be seen at https://vimeo.com/411857449
