Got some more good audio of the toads who serenade my neighborhood every spring. This time I got them early in the spring when they're most numerous. This excerpt was recorded inside the storm drain where my street crosses the creek so it has great natural reverb.

I got a couple of discs worth of audio during the ice storm here last month, most of which was very bad; a few things, though, came out quite nicely. This recording is of me walking along the frozen grassy bank and near the storm drains of Waller Creek, just down the road from my house. I used my trusty AT-822 on a boom pole aimed directly at my feet while I was crunching the snow, and as I walked beside the storm drains I slid the mic inside the drain a bit to capture the echoey sounds under the bridge.
