What I really like about the Nature Sounds Society (this is a plug)
is the variety of the participants. At our annual field recording
workshop, we'll have:
*Dedicated birders who want to learn how to record birds
*Bio-acousticians teaching us about their specialties
*Filmmakers who want to learn how to record nature
*Musicians who combine nature sounds with their compositions
*Radio documentary producers who want to learn how to record nature
*National Park Service employees interested in natural quiet
And more...the more the merrier!
