0:44 (0:44): Clear knock
2:11 (2:11): Faint train whistle
2:17 (2:17): Something begins moving near the recorder. This
continues off and on throughout the recording. I assume it is some small
rodent attracted by the candy Mike put with the recorder, as there were
no footprints of any large animals in the snow near the recorder.

3:24 (0:24): Large branch breaks
There is continued movement near the recorder during the rest of this clip.
3:53 (0:53): A low-pitched, distant moan/howl
4:02 to 4:19 (1:02 to 1:19): Three higher pitched, distant howls

Everything in this last section is distant and difficult to hear. I had
to amplify it a lot. You can hear several more distant howls and some
train whistles in this clip. I’m not going to bother breaking this down
further as it pales in comparison to the previous clips.

This clip is filled with a series of slapping/whacking sounds; well over a hundred in quick succession. I’m not going to isolate any particular slap as it would be cumbersome. Points other than slapping I’ll point out though. The slapping sounds themselves are intriguing. I’m not really certain what we are listening to. At first, I thought that something might be smacking smaller branches into a tree trunk or something like that. After a little experimentation though, I found that I could make a similar sound by vigorously smacking my cupped palm into my somewhat hairy chest, so I’m leaning toward this being the sound of rapid chest beating. At any rate, it is an interesting segment and not the sort of sounds you could associate with a pack of wolves, coyotes, or anything else. I did think that it could be the sound of a buck fight, but this was recorded in March, long after the deer had lost their antlers.

16:26 (1:35): Distant howl
16:30 to 16:50 (1:40 to 1:55): This section has intense slapping, howls and also includes a deep, brief voice at 16:31 (1:41). The voice is very deep and brief, but reminiscent of the samurai chatter from the Sierra Sounds. You can also hear other sounds in this section that I can’t identify, plus two distant howls.
16:50 to 16:58 (2:01 to 2:08): Distant howl
