Recordist's notes

Recording at a pond in a neighborhood park. The area is surrounded by traffic, which bleeds heavily into the recording. Birds are heard throughout. There were lots of geese, especially towards the end of the recording. There are frogs off to the right, but they're difficult to hear due to being masked by louder sounds. A group of people walked down to the gazebo next to the recorder around halfway through the session. The recording audibly clipped a couple times when the geese started calling right in front of the recording rig. This was captured with a low cut in order to remove some of the traffic rumble.
