I really can't remember if it was windy of not, so if it was it must have been 
light. (For some reason, I have notes for every day but that one - I think the 
notebook got left behind). I had the wind cover on, I use it whether it's windy 
of not. It won't prevent the sound of wind in the trees, of course

I thought the hiss was too constant for wind in the trees though.

I can't test it now because it's just too noisy where I live. I tried to record 
some silence to use as a sample for the noise removal function in Audacity, but 
even with the recorder sandwiched between two thick cushions with a blanket 
over them, I got even more noise than on that recording.

Perhaps it's a combination of mic hiss and trees.

I hear barely any hiss at all from recordings made just before and after with 
my ME66, but perhaps being directional it blocked most of it out.
