The first day of spring was cloudy and calm here in the Eastern panhandle o=
f West Virginia. Fog enshrouded the mountain tops and left a thin vail in t=
he valleys. As dawn was merely a brightening of the sky, the best clue was =
the increase in the bird activity. Recorded from the back deck, Eastern pho=
ebes building a nest, Whitetail deer browsing and snorting, Wild turkey clu=
cking and gobbling, American crows calling all added to the growing chorus.
Here is a link to a 10 minute segment of a longer recorded from the deck th=
is morning. Had to do a little low freq filtering to lessen traffic noise f=
rom highway 1 mile to right of soundscape.
