'E' Sounds
A very calm, relatively deeper area of the creek was chosen. The area is seemingly dead. By now, the birds are really into it, and what seems to be a call-and-response between possibly a couple (if you listen closely, the call and the response are unique) can be heard.

It is rather difficult to hear the aquatic sonic environment, although if you pay very close attention sometimes you can pick up an occasional movement. This also gives rise to an interesting point: the water seems to act as a thick sonic shield, difficult to penetrate, as the underwater soundscape seems to be completely insulated from the diverse range of sounds taking place...
