Switching Title

This edition of Places is mid-July and, once again, out in the great Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware. The first 18 minutes is just sitting at the campground in the morning listening to birds, barking dogs, and nearby campers waking up. Then for 8 minutes we move over to a viewing platform in a marshy bay at Gordon’s Pond where I record until until some other birders notice my recorder. Pardon...

I attempt to bike and hike my way up to Signal Knob in the Elizabeth Furnace Recreational Area to record some ambiences for Places. From the road, to Mud Hole Gap, to Strasburg Reservoir, to Signal Knob, and back. Hike-a-bike becomes the way frequently and quite quickly. I spot some Barred Owls and other good birds. I cross some streams, drink from a spring, and give myself reminders for next time...

This Places episode contains recordings made on a whim overnight campout in Delaware Seashore State Park. It rained a little on the way out there, but pretty much on my arrival a huge storm came through, and continued on and off over night. Luckily, in the morning it wasn't too bad, and and overall I really enjoyed my time being out in nature. (The nearby lightning strikes were scary!)

Driving and on the way to finally taking on a gravel bike race. Breaking down the new Switching Title season structure/timeline. Personal health updates, notes to self, and more challenge ideas. Race director speech, and enjoy the ride as I begin and finish and recap (with - of course - a gratuitous bird report).

This episode of Places follows me along my trek hauling myself and my bike up to Signal Knob. Recording stops are the Bear Hollow Parking Lot where I started, Mudhole Gap, Strasburg Reservoir Road Parking Lot, a Strasburg Reservoir primitive campsite, somewhere up the steep incline to and at the Signal Knob tower. You will mostly hear wind and birds in the trees, creeks, and me.

Fresno Mocking Jays sound different than Fairfax Mocking Jays, and other thoughts on their behaviors. There was a battle between a Chickadee and a Cardinal back in VA, and a Sandpiper vibrates mud. I come across a cult in Fort Valley while I probably shouldn’t have been out hiking. Happy 100!

This issue of Places contains stationary recordings from three locations in and around Fresno State University, California. I visited for a family thing, and in my downtime I sat in my brother's backyard reading and birdwatching, wandered through the Fresno State orchards, and on one walk I stumbled into the Animal Farm and breathed it in for as long as I could stand.

Starting things out in this season by finishing my ride on the C&O with a flat, or wrench, or maybe some other fun biking metaphor? I pretend to know about wildflowers, and especially just enjoy saying “bloodroot.” I find my own personal mallards and lots of other good callouts, including two rather ruddy yellow-rumpers. Went biking/birding to see a lifer at Burke Lake - a Red-necked Grebe (al...

Waking up from my Lean Monster Freak dream. Man seeking mouse. Back at the silver screens to check out Nosferatu and Wolf Man. Cramming in a few more 2024 films before I rate the year. Snow, “honestly” as a preface, and on the way to the museum. Also - not my president.

Back on Switching Title Episode 89 you heard me gush at length about Leopold's Preserve. On this Places episode I will shut up about it and just let you listen to a few areas I recorded there; marshes, fields, and ponds.

This episode of Cacophonous Revel Radio features tracks from Reid, Trumpet Solo, and Air Fresno; and is dedicated to my grandmother Peggy May.

I didn’t make it to Shenandoah because of a low tire pressure warning, so I found a new place: Leopold’s Preserve. Pardon me while I bird… the place was loaded! I get excited by a pond and the fowl within. If you ever wanted to hear somebody read info plaques, you are in luck! I take a few cemetery side-quests, and I get the buh-jesus scared out of me. It's a good place.

This Places episode is the second half of the recording I made while walking the walk of all walks in my old neighborhood before I moved last September. The first half is back on episode 85, and the speaking moments only episode is number 74.

This episode of Cacophonous Revel Radio has tracks from Reid and CaTs.

Adventure time again, starting at Wawa. Do I actually remember my hammock this time? Winter is biting at my summer memories of the C&O Canal Trail. Bird, book, and mileage reports galore. And life’s not complete without complaining about traffic and pondering the seasons! (Dig my human/season lifecycle analogy.)

This Places sub-series episode is Part 1 of a two-parter. Right before I moved from my old neighborhood last September I took one last walk as a resident on one of my routine path/loops. I brought my recorder with me to capture the walk's ambience and some of my thoughts. On episode 74 I strung together mostly just my speaking bits, so now you'll hear it all! Well, at least the first 45 mi...

This episode of Cacophonous Revel Radio includes tracks by me, Mehreideran, Trumpet Solo, and Thrill Addictions.

I reflect on subtleness from the balcony of my new place. Trees, birds, humans, weather; etc… What do I have time for? Sparrow observations. Reflecting on some of the Halloween franchise movies and other 31 Days of Horror Films Challenge; and looking back at other watches of the year. A little on books and some bike-learnin’.
