This past week, with the residual smoke in the Central and Coastal
Valleys from the 800+ fires in the state, I went out to record the
dawn chorus on the ridge that borders Sonoma and Napa Counties the
first day and found it completely silent (23 June) =96 a vast
difference from just the day before when the air was clear. Even in
the relatively clearer air the past couple of days, there hasn't been
much vocal density, at least not what one would expect at this time
of year although vox will begin to drop off in mid-July.
Another thing I've noticed is the low numbers of private aircraft
that fly over our Valley of the Moon in Sonoma County =96 mostly
because of the high price of AvGas (now hovering around $6.50USD/
gal). I just wish this had happened a little earlier in the year.
