Media notes
Subtitle: Dawn Chorus. NOTES: An XY stereo recording made at dawn at the summit of Lyon Mountain. I began this recording as I began my first Mountain Birdwatch point count at the summit, and then let the recording continue for 30+ minutes as I continued downslope to continue my survey. The recording began at 4:23 am and ended at 5:04 am. There was light in the sky at 4:23, but the sun did not rise above the Green Mountains to the east until approximately 5:00 am. The microphones were placed on a small tripod roughly one foot off the ground, in a small rocky clearing surrounded by a mix of stunted and 15-20 ft high balsam fir. I estimated the temperature to be 55°F at the end of the recording. LNS: 50 Hz high-pass filter applied.
