Maple Fire, late afternoon

Yellowstone National Park

Sustained Noise

[Crackling fire]

Description

This recording features low flames slowly back-burning toward the mic, moving through a patch of open meadow with short grasses and other plants that had mostly died back for the season. It's a quiet recording, but if you listen very closely (headphones recommended), you might notice the sounds of grasshoppers as they hop away from the oncoming flames. You can hear those at 11.828, 13.000, 14.623, and 18.669 seconds. It was recorded late in the afternoon at the very edge of the Maple Fire's perimeter, but in the background you can still hear some of the more active burning in the distance.
