Thunderstorm
14:06
A storm passing thorugh Palm Coast one afternoon. Some wicked
thunder bolts.
Ocala National
Forest 3:00am
04:22
A chrous of different frogs in a swampy part of the forest.
In the dark I was pretty certain a gator was going to eat me if I
had stayed near the recorder and microphone so I retreated to my
vehicle and left the equipment to fend for itself near the water.
They say gators feed more at night right? I didn't want to
find out. Species
are Barking Treefrogs, Pig Frogs, Bullfrogs, a few Southern Leopard
Frogs, and
one call from a River Frog.
Many thanks to
Walter Knapp for ID'ing these.
Mexican (Brazilian) free-tailed bats
2:00
Some excerpts of recordings made at the University of Florida Bathouse
in Gainesville. Each night at sundown over 60,000 bats leave the house to feed.
The recordings have been slowed down quite a bit to bring more of the bats' ultrasonic
sounds into our own audible range. Thanks to Greg Weddig for mixing assistance.
