About this sound

As night falls at Slough Creek Meadow, the distinctive sounds of Wilson’s Snipe, Virginia Rails, and Sora rise out of the marsh.

Why parks record sound

The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
