Recordist's notes

a chorus of crickets and katydids, distant frogs and an unidentified bird, to me it sounds similar to a large-tailed nightjar but tonally it is quite different which could be due to the distance and reverb of the forest, or it could be a completely different bird. recorded with an ATBP4025 into an Olympus LS-100. jeremyh.bandcamp.com soundcloud.com/jeremyhegge
