So,
this weekend I recorded a frog chorus at Harbin Hotsprings, near Middleton
and near Calistoga here in northern california...
Someone suggested these might be "Pacific Chorus Frogs" but I thought I'd
defer to the wisdom of the group...? Fwiw I gently looked through the
grass where I was as I swear it sounded as if one of the little fellows
could have hopped a half foot into my lap! But alas I could spot no one!

The two "frog" files are the same recording -- one (as labeled) I took a
30 second stab at "cleaing up" to remove the gray noise of a stream a few
hundred feet away and some mic hiss... a bit of a hack job, the broadband
noise just becomes a distractingly notched hiss until the calls come in to
distract you... :)
The original recording with Sonic Studios DSM-6S/EH mics, the Sonic
Studios "mini-pre," and a venerable MZ-R37 MD deck.
Btw the other two files in that directory are of a pool drain I recorded
a few hours earlier that evening, with my DSM mics as above, and a few
minutes later with my new toy, the Aquarian H2 hydrophone with the 1/8"
stereo termination and made to mate to "plug-in power" mic inputs as on my
MD... the nearby generator can be heard in both... :/
best,
aaron
