While you are reading MIFC # 3, you can listen to the rather unexciting soundscape I made this afternoon of our backyard in Minneapolis. I was going to go out to one of the WMA’s, but because we have plans later this evening, I decided there was not enough time. In the recording you can hear some birds1, a truck pulling up, the neighbors talking, squirrels frolicking in the leaves, and then a couple of flies whizz past the microphones at the end of the track.

The birds might be Black-capped Chickadees, but I’m not certain. I tried using the Cornell Lab’s Merlin Bird ID app, but ultimately was not sure because the birdsongs sound a different. If you have a guess of what the birds are, please feel free to comment. ↩
