Recordist's notes
Woodpeckers in the rain on White Horse Trail near the horse training ring. Several trees have fallen here in the past 3-4 years, and they are slowly picked apart by the birds. On a rare day when no helicopters, ambulances, police cars, motorcycles, or other human-made sounds typically dominate the park. Captured on TASCAM DR-40 in wide X-Y stereo.
