This was recorded in the middle of a clear and calm night at the Bigelow Meadow Botanical Area in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. It was late enough that there was no air traffic and no sound from the distant highway, therefore this recording is free of noise pollution. Listen for the sound of pine cones as they occasionally fall from the nearby Ponderosa Pine tree.  
This recording is a part of the same recording session which the previous episode came from. With the help of my daughter Sierra and her excellent choice of recording location, we set up the recording rig on the evening prior to this recording and recorded all night and into the next morning.

I am still hoping for a swift end to Putin's war against Ukraine. The unprovoked imperialistic aggression is utterly unjustifiable, and the ongoing intentional killing of innocent civilians is truly beyond the pale. I hope that the international community does all it can to put an end to this senseless assault against Ukraine and its people. PEACE FOR UKRAINE NOW!!!?? 
I hope that wherever you are in the world you are healthy, safe, and sound. Thank you for listening.
