Drops of water collecting on blades of grass in High Ridge Wildlife Management Area

High Ridge Summer

Recorded between May and September 2023, this piece is a tapestry of wildlife audio captured in the High Ridge Wildlife Management Area in Westminster, Massachusetts.

 

You'll hear the birdsong that fills the air during the warmer months and trickles off as nesting birds migrate south. As the season comes to a close, the fields are blanketed in a chorus of insect noise. I hope you find the transition of the seasons both peaceful and meditative.
