Description
This soundscape is part of a longer recording that ran overnight along the Muncie Lakes Pathway in Traverse City, Michigan USA on 5/25/2022 around 2:30 AM. In this recording, we are overlooking a wetlands area that looks like a cross between a vernal pool and a swamp. I would guess the area is 25 acres and has a mix of cedar, pine, hardwoods, and long grasses. A hiking trail runs along one side of the area and a two-track dirt road on the other. There is logging in the area but remains a popular hiking trail all year long. I recorded this soundscape with the Zoom F6 Field Recorder with a matching pair of Sonorous Objects SO.1 microphones. I introduced some noise to the recording in post-processing by pushing the gain too high to better hear the frogs. Despite the slight noise in the recording, it is still worth listening to because it has a very curious deer throughout and also features the rare call of the Eastern Whip-poor-will near the end.
