Episode 9: Rain Forest Canopy Climb

Hear what it sounds like from the ground to 150 feet up in the canopy of the rain forest on Barro Colorado in the middle of the rainy season.

Recorded while I was staying at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s field station, which is located on this island in the middle of the Panama Canal.

I used DPA 40460s and a Sennheiser 418S stereo shot gun on this trip. These mics performed very well in the hot, very humid conditions, as did my Sound Devices recorder.
