Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings

["kjcolver" kjcolver]

Hundreds of years ago the ancestral Puebloan people built cliff dwellings a=
nd lived in the canyons of southwest Colorado.  The dwellings were subseque=
ntly abandoned and the people moved southward where their descendants live =
today.

Under a special use permit, I was able to record the dawn sounds at Spruce =
Tree House in Mesa Verde National Park this spring.  This recording will gi=
ve you a sense of what the canyon might have sounded like centuries ago whe=
n inhabited by native Americans.  It is the most recent podcast at my web s=
ite www.7Loons.com.  There is a photo on the web site of Spruce Tree House.=
  My Sennheiser MKH 30/40 mics were placed at the ruins where they recorded=
 the early dawn hours.
