Recordist's notes
Fearing more rain the recorder is in the garage with the metal door open horizontally. WARNING. If you are listening with headphones the owls in the second half after the jet plane are loud about 15 meters away in the birch tree. This clip starting at 2.43am is from an overnight recording. The weather warmed after the snow and I hoped for some good natural sounds. 32 bit x 48khz, two Sennheiser MKH 8020s in a rucksack on a chair in the open doorway protected from any further rain. I did try a slight amount of high pass filtering below 100hz.
