Sound walk

     For this sound walk assignment I decided to walk around a local park, outside of Manhattan. I went to Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island. It has a lake, trails in the woods, and lots of wildlife. 

The sound was very open and airy. You can hear kids playing in the background on the jungle gym in the distance. When someone was passing you can hear bits of there conversion.

     The most interesting thing that I heard was while I was walking on a trail. I heard ruffling and crunching so I turned around and looked up the hill. There was a deer running through the trees. Then about ten minutes later there was a smaller deer following in the same direction. 

There were also many geese and ducks in the pond. A lot of them just saw around not making a sound but there was a group of four geese that flew into the water together. The flew over a bridge and all landed at the same time. When they did land in the water there was a rippling sound of their wings hitting the water. 

Also I brought my dog with me who was growling at the ducks. My dog is very calm she’s a big dog. But the little dog always bark at her and get aggressive, so I heard lots of barking when people with dogs passed by. Quite sharp in sound and annoying at times.
