Bonus! Visitors In The Night At Russian Lake

Bonus! Visitors In The Night At Russian Lake

Author: Sound By Nature September 7, 2024 Duration: 29:38

This was compiled from parts of the overnight recording I made tree ears style on a Mountain Hemlock tree standing near Russian Lake in the Russian Wilderness on a very warm summer night in mid July.

The first part of this recording was heard in the previous episode, after which the frogs quieted down and the air traffic picked up. Along with the air traffic came curious cloven hoofed visitors, Black Tailed Deer, that stopped by to investigate my recording rig no less than seven times throughout the night. When I retrieved my gear the morning after I set it up, there was nothing to indicate that it had been inspected the night before, so I was delighted to find upon monitoring the recording that it captured the sounds of the nocturnal inspectors.


Sometimes the most profound moments come from simply listening to the world outside our windows. Sound By Nature is an invitation to pause and immerse yourself in the authentic acoustics of the natural world, curated into thoughtful audio experiences. Each episode is a dedicated soundscape, free from narration or music, capturing everything from the gentle patter of rain in an old-growth forest to the distant crash of ocean waves at dusk. It’s a resource for recentering, whether you need a backdrop for deep work, a tool for meditation, or a gentle path into restful sleep. This podcast draws from the fields of acoustic ecology and environmental science, presenting these recordings not just as ambient noise, but as a connection to the intricate and often overlooked sound environments that surround us. Tune in, put on your headphones, and let the raw, unedited symphony of the planet provide a much-needed respite from the clutter of daily life.
