Thank you Tim

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
http://www.anwr.org/

The microphone I used on this recording was a Telinga, Stereo DAT mic
http://user.bahnhof.se/~telinga/

I use this mic with a dish for species recordings, for ambient sounds I use
my MKH-20 mics in a SASS modified by Walter Knapp.

Martyn, that's a great recording.

Can I ask two questions?

What is ANWR?

What mic did you use?
