It was an extremely windy day, and even with my foam wind-screens in place, you could hear many gusts of wind on this recording.  I've done some processing in SoundForge (low shelf, starting at ~400hz) to try to minimize the low-end rumble from the wind.  I've applied this technique in very targeted spots to:  T1 (1 spot), T2 (15 spots), T3 (13 spots), T4 (2 spots), T5 (2 spots), T6 (1 spot), T7 (6 spots), T9 (2 spots), T10 (1 spot), T11 (5 spots) T13 (3 spots)
