This recording was gathered just before sunset during a light rain shower at the water's edge of Lake McCloud in Shasta County, California. There is unfortunately quite a bit of air traffic on this recording. Normally I would keep trying until I got a recording with little or, ideally, no air traffic, but we have received very little rain this winter and I don't know when the next opportunity to record the sound of rainfall on the lake will be. I hope you don't find it too bothersome on what I think is an otherwise good recording. Listen for the low hooting song of the male Sooty Grouse as they try and attract females.
