I certainly enjoy longer recordings, but, unfortunately, the sort of 
internet connection I have limits my ability to get them down.

The connection was doing good today, so it only took a little over two 
hours to get down the short version.

I noticed something and would like to know it's source. Near the middle 
of the clip there are quite a few short pops. In addition, throughout 
the recording I notice a faint background crackle. The pops are 
particularly noticeable between 3 & 4 minutes in the short clip.

Are either of these associated with just one mic in the original 
undecoded M/S recording? About all that I can think of natural for the 
pops would be small raindrops. I'm wondering, therefore, if they are 
something from the equipment as I don't remember rain being reported.

The background crackle sounds suspiciously like the sound of the self 
noise of the mics. Is this the case for either of them? Or is it 
something in the processing?

Frogs: Pickerel, Green, Spring Peepers, American Toad, and the double 
chromosome "common" gray treefrog.
