Fifteen hours ASMR-like nature audio from the banks of an expansive crimson mallow, and black needlerush marsh located near the headwaters of Goose Creek and downstream of Shepard Springs in the Wakulla Beach area of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge (SMNWR). The audio recording begins with bird song & calls, including; Carolina wren, pileated & red bellied woodpeckers, gnatcatchers, kingfishers, mourning doves, catbirds, Kentucky & palm warblers, grackles, osprey, bluejays, mockingbirds, vireo (possibly white-eyed vireo), brown thrasher and many more. The winds are still this afternoon as the audio begins and continues as a calm afternoon until the coastal winds begin to come inland beginning around 9 pm EST. Male cicada and field crickets provide an ongoing background ambience till the wee hours of the morning. frogs, including green tree frogs, southern cricket frogs and pinewoods treefrogs can be heard scattered throughout background audio. The Sony PCM M10 recorder, with PIP Clippy stereo microphones, windscreens and drybags were all assembled and placed along the edge of the marsh basin in an active and bustling 'edge' or transition zone. between dense bottomland forest and open needlerush and mallow flats. This is a relaxing audio recording, perfect for bringing nature in to work, home or car. I've been playing this recording over and over for the past week. I never grow tired of the wildlife calls and listening to nature at night is more reassuring than a weighted blanket.

@RutgerMuller I see the rising spectro-waveform. I am wondering what this is. I am assuming it may either be the crickets or cicada but it could also be a weather pattern such as the velocities of offshore winds coming ashore. I will investigate further. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Best, Kevin

Nice. Cool to see the spectral view of this, in the new freesound interface. One sound is rising.
