Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the group.  I have been reading the posts for a few
weeks now.   I first became aware of nature recordings after 
stumbling upon Gordon Hempton's "Earth Sounds" collection
some years back.  I'm excited to discover this group where others 
share the same appreciation of the bio and environmental acoustics.

Lang Elliot's "Calls of Frogs and Toads" audio guide was
an eye opener.  I had no idea there was such an amazing variety of 
sounds to be heard.  It really enhances the listening experience in 
the wild when you recognize the various voices, where the otherwise 
untrained ear would not be able to identify the presence of a given 
species.

This spring, the sounds of my local wetlands finally pushed me over 
the edge to collect some recording equipment and make some recordings 
of my own.  So here I stand, I have successfully managed to capture 
my first half dozen hours of various environmental sounds, generously 
interspersed with aircraft, wind, automobiles, boats and of course 
the sound of the microphone cable swaying against the tripod in the 
wind.  My recording objectives are to recreate the sounds of a given 
natural environment for the purpose of sharing with others and for my 
own listening when can't be out in the field.
