I’m staying close to home with a head cold, so I put my NT4 out on the back porch to record some of the prettier songbirds that have been at our feeders. I just settled down with a bowl of soup & my headphones when this squirrel war started up.
Well, I think they’re fighting for territory. Although, it could be a mating ritual (I’m not an expert on squirrel mating techniques, I’m just saying).

I guess I’ve finally succumbed to the winter cold/flu/grippe that’s been going around, so I haven’t ventured further out of the house than to pick up the paper & take the dogs out. I thought I’d have to skip today’s upload, until I went in to my son’s room… He’s on his computer playing an online game called “Dark Role Play” on “Gary’s Mod”. No, really.
So, I recorded the following exchange from his computer speakers.

There is a skateboard park underneath “The Connector” in Boise with the usual ramps, pyramids, & rails. I stopped by today and made 2 recordings… The first is behind one of the ramps, and the second is out between both ramps. It was damn cold!

Thanks to the motivation from the folks at Sound Diaries here is my first recording of 2009… I guess the geese were startled by all of the fireworks & gunshots on New Year’s Eve.
