I'm intrigued by whatever it is you're doing in Houston....I have been looking around the Ship Channel and Pasadena for vantage points, and am working on a photo essay on Brays, Sims, and Buffalo Bayous. Have you run across these folks? Texas Oil: Landscape of an Industry | The Center for Land Use Interpretation
Speaking of field recordings and composition, have you heard Cosmo Sheldrake? Most people would be familiar with his song "Come Along" (as mentioned in the link here, it was used in an Apple ad), but he is out in the wild finding all sorts of great sounds to use in his own work. https://www.cosmosheldrake.com/about/
thank you for another wonderful entry in your Edgeland Chronicles. we are lucky enough to have some yellow crowned Night Herons nesting on the edge of the woods above the ravine, right behind my place. Hopefully soon we will learn what baby Night Herons sound like. Maybe baby death metal growlers?
This site is amazing. It has Lawrence English referenced.

Yes, I saw their amazing exhibit in 2008 at the Blaffer, and have the book. I’m aiming to paddle some of those waterways. We should meet up!

I have heard of him but hadn’t listened to any of his music—will check it out. Thanks!
I wonder if the insect eggs are spherical or more of a cylinder with a rounded top? Hard to decide from the picture. You all find/hear great stuff!
They seemed more spherical, and were extremely tiny—left is about the size of a tine on a comb or brush

That’s awesome! The night herons are mystical presences. Thanks for reading 🙏
Thank you,Chris, for so much interesting information in one place. I hope the baby herons weathered the storm well enough.
Thanks, Sara, I hope so too 🙏
Google Lens (https://www.google.com/?olud) suggests the eggs may be of a stink bug (https://www.bugguide.net/node/view/1017500). If you post the photo to iNaturalist you'll likely get some ID help.
