"Birds and Crickets" was recorded on 62nd and Lapham St in West Allis, WI.

In this recording birds can be heard chasing each other through a large tree from branch to branch. Crickets can be heard in the background, as though they are surrounding the scene. As the recording fades in a muscle car that was stopped at a stop sign takes off from the crosswalk and goes up the block. Shortly after that, a buzz saw from several blocks away can be heard. A man was working on his deck.

This recording was one of the few non-traveling recordings I did. The microphones were laid stationary attached to different branches inside the tree. The remained there for several minutes and this brief clip is the best sound I could get, as well as the only chunk of time when no human voice can be heard.
