I enjoy recording in winter because the background sound levels can
drop very low and you can hear more more space--especially at night.
There's usually _something_ going on near usual congregation spots
like open water springs and with the warmer winter here in Wisconsin,
nothing would surprise me. Last week I encountered owls, coyotes,
several type of rodents, wood peckers, our usual wintering birds,
ice, sleet, creaking trees. Winter pacing is slower of course. Rob D.
