Alan,
I am going to the Cristalino myself next month and my preparation consists=
of drawing up a list of potential birds for the site and making tapes with=
their vocalisations . As 'oryoki' wrote, a bird list for the site is
available in Ornithological Monographs No. 48. Vocalisations of many of
these species are commercially available, in particular on Cornell's CDs of=
parrots, antbirds and the birds of lowland southeastern Peru and on Bird
Songs International CD-ROMs for Bolivia and Venezuela.
