Hello,

Since it came up I thought I would post this:

I was recording the spring peepers in a beaver bog behind my house and
one came out to make his presence known.

Recorded on April 22, 2008, around 5:30 PM in East Albany, Vermont. The
rig was a pair of Shure SM81s in an ORTF array into a Sound Devices 702.
The noise that's more prominent in the left channel is the stream that
feeds the ponds.

I often hear the Ruffed Grouse around here-wonderful sound. I used to
think it was a tractor starting up in the distance!
