Two mourning doves: one close, one far distant, in a mating call and response. Pretty clean, spring pre-air conditioner pollution season background with light birdsong way back.

Recorded @ 8Khz with a Griffin iTalk mic to a recently refurbished 20GB 3rd generation iPod - my favorite lo-fi field recording / interview rig. If you have a recording device on your person, you get a lot of stuff you'd otherwise miss altogether. This rig helps me get those things too ephemeral to capture with a stereo pair; sounds I would regret not having at all. I keep it on my belt 90% of the time. Just in case.

  thank you. I'm doing a children's story about the first day of a faun and the doves work beautifully.
