My first outdoor recording in a local wetland conservation area.  I think I called it a “swamp” in the recording – it is not that extreme, I wasn’t wrestling alligators.  I did test my newest fuzzy windscreens which worked perfectly.

I also posted a photo on my Patreon site so you can see what I am referring to when I mention things like lantern, boardwalk, reeds, and pom poms.

Disturbing background noises like dogs barking, cars driving by and other non-relaxing sounds are not as bad as in my backyard or in my neighborhood, but they are still present – so unfortunately this is not yet the peaceful nature experience that I hope to record someday : )
