Very Happy And LOUD Barred Owl Waking Me Up (6:26am) - LS-10 w/SASS by Jared Blake published on 2021-05-17T13:20:21Z After being awoken by a barred owl extremely close to my tent for two nights in a row, I decided to setup a drop rig to capture the incredible sound. To do so, I bungie-corded my SASS microphone on a tree where I thought the owl likely perched at night and hoped for the best. At 6:26am the owl woke me up like an alarm clock only this time I was ready and captured the moment. When I listen to this recording, I can't help but smile and laugh because the owl sounds so happy and proud of itself to be waking me up. Thanks for listening. During spring of 2021, I spent 5 nights camping in and recording the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia (4/18 - 4/23). Specifically, I was at the Lake Conasauga overflow campground. Lake Conasauga is an artificial lake that is very popular with fishing people and camping families. Due to this popularity, I knew before I arrived that I didn't want to camp on the lake itself. As predicted, the lake was very busy (noisy) with people during my stay. The overflow campground was quiet, empty, and was the location of the songbird trailhead; a trail leading to a mountain pond created by beavers. The area around the pond is managed by the Forest Service for bird diversity. This trip was the longest period I've ever gone with zero human interaction in my life. From Sunday evening to Friday afternoon, the only people I saw were driving by the campground on the gravel road, and even then there were few vehicles. This area within the Chattahoochee blessed me with so many amazing experiences and sounds. By my last day I was filled with so much love and appreciation for the land. I've never felt more connected with our planet. Please enjoy this presentation of one of the most peaceful places on Earth. Thank you for listening, until later ☼ Genre field recording Comment by Grégory Bravo, nous plongeons dans ce moment sonore, dans l' intimité de deux individus se répondant, très bel enregistrement !
