Product Description
Ruth Happel is one of the finest bio-acoustic naturalists working today. Early one spring, she hiked alone for several days until she located one of the few isolated spots in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York far from traffic, human habitation, and aircraft. For many nights she camped near the side of a large pond, inhabited by loons and peepers, patiently waiting for the right confluence of events before settling down to her elegant and rewarding work.
Ruth switched on her recorder and just lay quietly on the ground, unmoving for hours at a time and capturing the enchantment of that moment and place. Recounting the mist over the water at dawn, she tells of the different ways the loon voices echo and blend with the rhythm of the peepers, as they each establish and share vocal territory. When she speaks of this moment, her whole being is transformed. Her voice changes and her body language becomes relaxed and fluid. To know her is to know one ext! raordinary human who clearly grasps what it is to be intimately linked to that which is natural. This composition has captured every nuance.

Album Description
One of the finest bio-acoustic naturalists working today, Ruth Happel hiked alone to an isolated spot in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York one spring to record this spring chorus. Far from traffic, human habitation and aircraft, she camped and recorded for many nights near a large pond colonized primarily by loons and peepers, patiently awaiting the right confluence of events before settling down to her elegant and rewarding task of capturing the enchanted moment on tape. Recounting the mist over the water at dawn, she tells of the different ways loon voices echo and blend with the rhythm of the peepers as they each establish and share vocal territory.LOONS of ECHO POND. As part of the mysterious spring chorus, loons and peepers of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York enchant us as we listen to the biophony of this rare habitat. Once these enigmatic sounds are heard, they are never forgotten.
