Recordist's notes
General suburban sounds in the late afternoon of a mid-Spring day. Calls of mourning doves, sparrows, and robins; sounds of passing air and ground vehicles, emergency sirens, people talking, a few brief dings from a wind chime, and the music of an ice cream truck. Zoom H4n using built-in mics and placed on an upside-down flower pot.
