Miscellaneous
This was recorded at a spring fed mountain stream on a summer afternoon in the Trinity Mountains, a subrange of the Klamath Mountains, in Siskiyou County, California. It was a hot, sunny, and breezy day, with birds singing and bumblebees and other flying insects buzzing around in the flowers and greenery which lined the banks of the stream. It has been an abnormally dry year in this part of California, much of the west coast really, with a snowpack which has long since melted and temperatures far above average. The area in which I recorded this is normally gushing snowmelt this early in the summer, but many of the springs and streams which are usually swiftly flowing have already dried up, and the flow of water now looks more like it should in the fall. I can only hope that we receive a much deeper snowpack next winter to help alleviate this ongoing drought. I really need your help. This podcast is independently produced by me alone and is made possible in part by contributions from my monthly supporters. I am extremely grateful for their support, but what I receive on a monthly basis only covers a small fraction of the cost of bringing you these recordings, not to mention the time and effort I put into this. I would very much like to continue providing you with ad free, thoughtfully collected natural sound, and I would like to travel farther afield to bring you more diverse soundscapes. But in order to do that, I need your help. Any and all contributions are deeply appreciated and go directly towards producing these episodes. I am not asking for a large contribution, but I am hoping a large number of you can make a small contribution which will enable me to continue providing you all with authentic natural sound gathered in wild and beautiful locations, and is entirely free from advertising. You can sign up to make a monthly contribution by clicking the support link at the end of this podcast description, or by visiting the donations page of my website at https://soundbynaturepodcast.com/donations/, where you will also have the option of making a one time donation. Thank you to the two listeners that donated to the podcast through my website this past month, I am extremely thankful. I hope that more of you will consider doing the same. Thank you very much for your help!
