Water moving over beaver dams with Coyotes howling, a Barred Owl screaming, and a flock of Canada Geese flying over. This is a composite recording with long silent intervals removed. Recorded at various times during two nights, 4-5 October 2017, near Fleischmanns, New York. © Lang Elliott. "I had expected a greater variety of nature sounds (other than the constant trickling and gurgling of water going over beaver dams), but it's autumn and that's generally a quiet time in my neck of the woods."
