I haven't had a chance to listen to the recording yet. Just before I got my=
 recording equipment, I heard several trees fall within an hour on a still =
morning after a night of heavy rain. I've always wished I could have record=
ed them.=0D

I'm curious how you handled the security of your equipment on the day. Some=
 places it would disappear as soon as you turned your back. Perhaps it just=
 wasn't that sort of place?=0D

The Nature Sounds Society had a listening experience table in Muir Woods fo=
r the Winter Solstice celebration yesterday. Roberta Blake and I manned it.=
 We had four sets of headphones,=0D
=0D
1) Live MKH 40/30 MS pair focused on a rill in Redwood Creek, into 744T.=0D
=0D
2) Playback of a stereo recording of a May dawn chorus in Cathedral Grove (=
old growth redwood forest).=0D
=0D
3) Playback of a stereo recording of a May dawn chorus on the Dipsea Trail =
near Redwood Creek (riparian mixed forest).=0D
=0D
4) Live Telinga EM-23s shoulder-mounted on a vest with home-made furry wind=
screens.=0D

Though it was raining much of the day, Muir Woods' constituents are a hardy=
 bunch and traffic at our table was good. The Park Service provided a pavil=
ion to keep us mostly dry. We enjoyed turning people on to nature sounds. I=
t got a little tiring hearing people say how relaxing they thought the cree=
k sounds were.=0D
=0D
About an hour into the noon-to-five gig we heard a great crash. I hit the r=
ecord button on the 744T and caught it, thanks to the ten-second pre-record=
 buffer. The mics were right on a rill in the creek, so the subtleties were=
 masked. Here is a recording processed to try to bring out the event:=0D
