DOERING: We love that you, our listeners, keep sending in audio for our “listening on earth” series! And a couple of your submissions feature California, starting with the crashing waves at Point Lobos near Monterey Bay from Christoper Dunn.

DOERING: You know, some of my fondest memories include summer road trips on the iconic Highway 1 up the coast from San Diego with stops including Point Lobos. And Paloma it’s such a great spot to watch the sea otters!

BELTRAN: That sounds amazing! I’ve heard so much about Point Lobos. Hopefully I’ll get to visit soon. You know Jenni, this next one is from a bit further up the coast, “the city by the bay”.

LITWIN: I’m Aaron and I live in downtown San Francisco in California in the United States and I get to listen to crows almost every morning, along with my cat, Dusty Junior, looking out my window onto the city skyline where nature has seemed to found a way to coexist with us.

BELTRAN: I’m happy to report that Aaron Litwin also sent in a great photo of the cat Dusty Junior which we’ll post on the Living on Earth website, loe dot org. By the way, he says sometimes a whole “murder” of more than a hundred crows visits!

DOERING: Who knows what they’re plotting… Well, we want to remind you that to capture your sounds you can use any sound recording app on your phone, like Voice Memos or Voice Recorder. And for the best audio quality make sure to stand still for at least two minutes without fidgeting or talking.

BELTRAN: That’s right and of course we do want to hear from you! So, be sure to speak clearly and let us know who you are, where you are, what you’re hearing and what inspired you to record the moment. Then you can email the file to comments@loe.org, and we might just use your audio postcard on the air! That’s comments at loe dot org.
