I'll post it when I find out. It's probably going to be sold through the 
  DNR conservation group, but nothing is fixed yet. Now that it's moved 
on in the process it's involving the park service, because they are the 
ones with the studio for recording the narration, and one of their 
employees is the narrator. so it could end up that way too. Whatever 
happens I'll let you know once they sort it out.

I have no idea how well it will be liked. It's put together from 
scientific survey recordings, one ID bit is even from a automated frog 
logger. Being the one who worked on it I know all the filtering errors 
and such like. I also know what the source material was like. But so far 
others who hear it like it. I'm just happy to get my part done, towards 
the end it was getting to be work. I've been working my way through this 
process since mid-summer.

Using a long, mixed chorus section is fairly uncommon in state made frog 
ID recordings. Most tend toward having the narrated ID's, followed by 
ID's without narration to "test", a pretty dry format. John and I 
thought a better test is mixed in with everybody else as the chorus 
occurs. And some of the other people involved requested a section for 
just listening. As a single CD, it's a compromise having both ID and 
listening.
