Record a stream! Mount Seymour Provincial Park

How do you listen to a stream?
How do you record a stream? 
At Mount Seymour Provincial Park, we took a walk through damp British Columbia rainforest.
As we crossed a footbridge on the Baden-Powell trail,
I really liked the sound of the water trickling down the mossy logs and across the stones into a small rivulet.   Listen!
