It was an exciting first-time experience venturing and recording sound at HonToon State Island Park. Started off by going on a short boat trip with a local park ranger to the state park learning that the purpose of the park is on an island that helps to minimize human interference with nature. During the 5K walk, I was able to record the surrounding sound that can be found in HonToon State Park along with finding out the benefits of control prescribe fires, and how the animals and plants benefit from them. There were a lot of Biophony, Geophony and a few anthrophony sounds recorded, with exception of the motor boats, trains, and airplanes, which weren’t constant. Due to the lack of anthrophony, I was able to pick up some bird calls from a Woodpecker and Yellowthroat. There were some other faint sounds of other birds. It was quite an interesting turnout while also gaining more experience working on a Zoom-H4N recorder to be able to teach and help out the campers when they are field-recording tomorrow. I’m excited to start editing my own recordings and input the sound of nature into my final project for Dr. Boland’s class, which is a fantasy world poetry podcast. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
