In winter we get visitors for birds that are not around for the 
summer.
A bit more work and more chase to get them.

For sound scapes the work is also harder but also rewarding.  I wait 
for deep snow right now to get what I want. I am not sure it will 
happen this year.  Some sounds in winter do not occur every year. The 
sound pad of snow makes for some special places when it all comes 
together.

I am also in the process of choosing a single place to capture sound 
over an extended time for all seasons.  For me this takes a lot of 
work and so far I have limited down to about 1000 square miles and 
keep looking for the spot.
