Audio Log: Tin Roof Rain

This recording is from early summer 08' at Crider Shelter on the Monadnock-Sunapee Trail. The roof of the shelter is tin and it was raining lightly as I woke up, which made for an awesome start to my day (really!). The rain gradually gets heavier and louder as the piece progresses. I set up my tent screen inside the shelter in order to keep the insects at bay. At one point during the recording a songbird (sorry, don't remember the species) landed on the floor of the shelter to get out of the rain. The tent screen prevented the bird from detecting my presence, and for a few moments it felt sort of familial. The entire recording is just over ten minutes.
