Here is one minute comprised of four short recordings faded together
giving a quick glimpse into a good day of recording Saturday May 17 2008.

Segment 1: Big Summit Prairie. I parked along the road around 12:30
a.m. to record this lively wetland.  Besides the Pacific Chorus Frogs
and winnowing Snipes, I do not know the other birds.

Segment 2: Sage and Grassland slope overlooking Big Summit Prairie.
By the time I set up camp, and watched the full moon set, dawn was
already lighting the horizon. The unseasonably hot weather seemed to
bring the dawn chorus early beginning promptly at 4 am. =96 this segment
from around 5 a.m.  Is that a Sandhill Crane?

Segment 3: Area of open Ponderosa forest on Black Mountain. Around 10
a.m I noticed bumble bees could not resist the white flowers on what I
think were currant bushes.  You can hear the bees come in two sizes.

Segment 4: Rocky grassland knolls with Ponderosa lined draws near
Little Summit Prairie, 11 p.m. An owl stopped by for awhile, calling
beyond the frogs.  I think it is a Saw-whet Owl.
