EarlySummerEveningKidsPlayingChippingSparrows.WAV

A recording of a typical busy, yet peaceful later afternoon sound-scape of a small midwestern town at 5:30PM on a weekday. This was recorded on Tuesday May 24th, 2016 using the Marantz PMD661 and two Sennheiser ME66 microphones...true STEREO recording.
You will hear the delightful sound of neighborhood kids playing a friendly - or sometimes not so friendly - game of wiffleball which adds to the reflective nature of this recording. The trilling bird calling towards the end of the recording is the beautiful little, Rusty-capped Chipping Sparrow. These Chipping Sparrows converge on the midwest around this time and their calls can be mistaken as an insect.
Enjoy this Summer 2016 recording and maybe it will trigger wonderful, innocent memories of your own childhood.
