Recordings from the Yucatan made in November, 2006.
Yucatan Forest Dawn
05:22
Early dawn in the mature forest at El Eden Reserve.
Moisture dripping off the leaves can be heard as well as a host of endemic birds.
Yucatan Clearing Dawn
04:02 Also at El Eden, this time in a portion of the reserve with very little forest cover.
As a result a different grouping of birds can be heard. Brown Jay Alarm Call
01:19
Back in the mature forest, this is a group of Brown Jays sounding the alarm.
Cancun, Outside Church
03:18 Sunday
evening in Mexico. In this Catholic nation it's not so unusual
that I found a crowded church and that singing could be heard even from
the street where I was recording.
Cancun, Zocalo
05:05 A Zocalo or town square in
downtown Cancun on a Sunday evening. On weekends everyone gathers
here to socialize and hangout. Vendors with carts are selling
churros and textiles. You can hear the balloon salesman in this
track as well as a comedian playing with the crowd. Demolition at La Palacio Municipal, La Isla de las Mujeres
02:45 Workmen demolishing the pavement
in front of this government building as children play basketball
nearby. All this on a warm and cloudy evening on this beautiful
island just off of the Yucatan peninsula.
