    Adirondack Trip

    Bob's Adirondack thread didn't come back to me until I was driving through the same mountains over the past several days. The area is in transition mode now -- a lull between ski season and the late spring/summer surge. I found most of the parks closed; trails still had a foot-and-a-half of...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    All, I have a three-minute mp3, actually a major edit from a long recording taken in a bog associated with the Tulpehocken area (a fine chorus of Fowler's toads, and peepers), mixed with a couple of chilly frogs (pretty sure they're leopard frogs; the cold has them crooning slow, and at a low...

    Any Adirondacks visitors?

    I'll be packing up the Mazda this weekend and heading up to the Adirondacks for five days. This'll be my first time thereabouts, so I'm curious if anyone has been up that way and, if so, can recommend any points of interest. I'll be taking my wife and sons, so hikes on the extremely rigorous...

    barren nights

    Secret's out! :) Aw, thanks for your concerns, but you don't have to worry about my safety, Bob. I fit right in with the crowd over there on the "other side." Heh-heh.

    barren nights

    My plans tonight of visiting a few vernal ponds in Wharton, hoping to catch some frog action, resulted in my quickly realizing conditions were much drier than I'd thought they would be. Last year, almost to the date, the same locations were swimming with crooning peepers and toads. Alas, now...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    Quiet ambiance is definitely more my cup of tea, Jeff; but I'm always interested in hearing any musical interpretations mixed with natural sounds, whether they be inspired by my recordings or anyone else's. I'm definitely curious as to what the barrens' recordings might spur creatively in...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    Guy's NPR suggestion has been noted and is being comtemplated. Relayer -- I've been considering a frog mix with "Close to the Edge?" Think the Yes guys will like it? :) After reading a recent thread concerning what sounded like a neat get-together, I know there are at least a couple of...

    Whippoorbill's gift to us

    Figured I'd give this thread a bit of a bump -- after all, it's the time of year when things come back to life in the barrens. Also, maybe some newcomers who missed this thread first time around might get a kick out of some of the field recordings. I plan on hitting the bogs with the...

    Eclipse

    A few minutes later, and the sky has cleared! Looks like the man-in-the-moon is totally beshadowed. Think I'll stop worrying about the early alarm, bundle up and have a lenghty see. Thanks again, Mark; I had pretty much given up.
