Thanks Marty I was having problems thinking through how a wave can go
500 mph + and have a long ebb before the huge flow.  This helps even
if I can not think of a sound equivelent to put it on topic.

The hawk owl description helps too. It is much easier to find those
things that are known to exsist than to just chase what might exsist.
 My mind seems to be still more than capable of hearing, creating, and
redesigning things that can't exsist and that adds some fun to field
recording.  Stream, wind, and pink noise type recordings seem to bring
out Greenman more than most types of sound.  I mention this in this
context because I suspect I will be spending a number of hours in a
cold tamarac bog with a stiff wind looking at shades of gray and a
distant hawk owl.
