Recordist's notes

if you listen past the sound of moving water, you can hear a high pitch that almost sounds like the electromagnetic noise I used to get from my old recorders. This however is the silt at the very edge of the riverbank, likely being agitated by the heavy wind this day. I held this recorder as close to it as possible.
