Today's posting is a field recording from MacIntosh Brook Falls on the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We'll post video when we get a chance, but the audio alone is quite nice too.

The microphone was placed…

Gypsum Mine Lake is so close to our AirBnB that we could visit any time with ease.  And since it's outside the Highland National Park we had a couple opportunities to get out the drone and look at those beautiful…

We left Port Hawkesbury headed to Cheticamp for a month, and had an arrival window that gave us a couple hours along the way to stop and make this recording at Myles Doyle Brook.

We've stayed in quite a few short-term rentals at this point.  This particular home is equipped with a Hellmouth Toilet.  Imagine getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and seeing this eerie red glow coming…

The sound of the calm water gently lapping against a stone beach was intoxicating and we couldn't…

We spent a good many hours at Petersfield Provincial Park.  It's beautifully maintained with easy walking and wonderful birdsong.  Here's the field recording:

While staying in Kentville, Nova Scotia we were within a short walk of Miner's Marsh where we made loads of field recordings at all hours of the day and night.  The crooning frogs in this recording are among our favorites:
