This file contains an interesting pattern of events. Looking at the events that are marked, there is a somewhat repetitive composition to the events in the recording. First there is a plane, the microphone pops, some breezes blow through the scene, the microphone pops again, another plane flies overhead, a strong breeze passes through and then finally we end with another plane making its way into the sonic field. All while there is a fly that seems to linger around in-between each event, somehow not making its presence during the noted events.

This recording contains a wind sound scape with plenty of wildlife activity. Sporadically throughout, new birds chime in to the recording and gives their unique calls for a few minutes at a time. Needless to say the wind overpowers most of the bird calls as most of the birds are usually off in to the distance. There a couple of instances in where wildlife movement becomes audible. This events are quite brief however, but they depict the dry dessert landscape.

This file is mostly another wind soundscape sample. There are plenty of instances when the breeze is a little bit stronger and pieces of equipment become audible. Perhaps the most exciting event is when for a very brief second, at the 2:30 mark, a fly buzzes across the microphones from right to left.

This file contains plenty of breeze-filled moments as well as a plethora of microphone clicks. There are four instances when an airplane flies through the scene. The first instance is quite noticeable, whereas the second instance, the plane is at a further distance and it is merely recognized as a humming that fluctuates in proximity and sounds very similar to a motorcycle or vehicle of some sort. During the third and fourth instances, perhaps the same one as the previous two, there is a long gust of wind that is consistent for a little more than two minutes. This breeze and plane create an interesting atmosphere while the breeze passes very closely to the microphones.

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 file contains a steady ambience of talking birds in the distance. There are a few instances where the microphone is bumped and/or pops as well as some instances of brief shuffling or rummaging. One notable instance of a bird call is at the 2:20 mark. A bird is relatively close to the microphone and has a distinct screeching call. The bird only cries out twice within a 10 second time span.
