Tuna Street Port of L.A.
Just a couple of blocks away from the main berths on Terminal Island in the Port of Los Angeles is Tuna Street, you can even hear some fish flopping in the ocean.

Busker on the Pier in Seal Beach
Caught this violin busker from the parking lot adjacent to the Seal Beach Pier, the screeching swingset really sets the mood.

Tide on the Rocks
Just past the SS Lane Victory on the East Channel of the Port of Los Angeles, there are some interesting docks and piers that offer different takes on tidal sounds.

Active Bee Hive
I have been following this hive for the last year; they live in the ground, in a water access structure at Gum Grove Park. It has been fascinating watching them through the winter storms, super blooms, and dry summer.

Flybag
I attached some of my DIY contact mics to a fly trap bag. A great way to get some weird gross sounds.
