This is an immersive audio experience, titled "Swainson's Thrush Birdsong and Cicada Sounds". The recording begins with the signature song of a Swainson's Thrush bird, a melodious series of flute-like tones, that provides a tranquil backdrop. As the bird continues its song, the rhythmic sound of cicadas begins to emerge. The cicadas emit a constant, pulsating buzz, which is characteristic of hot summer days. Together, the Swainson's Thrush's song and the cicada's chorus form a beautiful and harmonious symphony of nature. This is a perfect example of an on-location sound effect, or foley, capturing the essence of a summer day in the wild. The quality of the recording is so high that it feels as if you are actually there, experiencing the scene in real-time.
