Field Recording # 7

My Backyard, Centereach
At the beginning of the clip, sounds of me opening the gate to the backyard as well as it shutting can be heard. The sounds of leaves and twigs crunching and rustling underneath my feet can be heard along with the wind blowing. A faint motor of some sort from a neighboring yard is also heard in the background.
