This recording contains a plethora of bird calls which are consistent throughout most of the recording. The other sonic events of this recording include sounds of motor vehicles as they pass through the scene, a few instances of insects buzzing by the microphone, and winds occasionally blowing around twigs and dried shrubbery.

This recording contains sounds equally from nature and humans. There are four instances when a car will drive right next to microphone and zoom past from the right channel to the left. Essentially this entire 2 hour recording has ambience of vehicles driving along the freeways in the distance as well as consistent sounds of bird calls. There are a few instances where a squawking bird begins calling quite close to the microphone and the timbre of its voice is very clear. The rest of the bird calls are are a little off in the distance and only vary between birds once about three times.

This file contains some very brief, almost inaudible sounds coming from a little critter on a rock moving around. Something very peculiar about this recording is that there are continuous, little clicks that are coming form what seems to be the microphone. They are all in the left channel on the stereo recording and they happen continuously (at least every thirty seconds) from about the 10:30 minute mark until the end of the recording.

There are two main events in this file. There is an airplane that passes overhead, entering at the :40 second mark and exiting around the 3:30 mark. The second major event is a large gust of wind that passes through the scene. This breeze moves the shrubbery around and the leaves and sticks brushing against each other become subtlety audible.

This recording contains quite a few instances of metal, close by the microphone, clanks together or squeaks, creating a very eerie environment as the wind continues to blow in the distance. A description of the setting is given at the beginning of the recording; it is 8:30PM on the 3rd day of the Listen(n) Project Field Trip on March 11th. The gates to Dripping Spring Road have been locked so the team could not go up the road to record. There are freeways on both sides of the microphone so one can hear rumble from cars everywhere. Towards the end of the recording there are a number of vehicles that become audible and at one instance a car drives up very close to the site of recording, makes a three point turn and turns back down the road.

This recording contains a good deal of wildlife activity. Virtually the entire 20 minute recording documents birds singing and calling. New bird calls come and go throughout the recording, but there are two noticeably new calls from close by birds at the 6:58 and 8:55 mark. Stunningly, at the 16:17 mark a goose becomes clearly audible in the recording and gives quite a few calls before exiting the scene.
