Why does everyone avoid numbers? My joke for forty years has always been 
that people with inclinations toward science who are bad with math (and 
hence PHysics and Chrmistry) become biologists.  Now you all are making my 
nightmare come true.  It was only a joke, albeit an offensive one!

All I ask for is a visually-confirmed male Blackburnian recording with 
major starting level pitch less than 5 kHz, like this recording!

Since I lost my high hearing to asprin overuse in the 1970's I have never 
HEARD a single blackburnian, but I can sure hear this one (Greg's unknowns 
1 and 2.)

THAT railing was below the proverbial belt, indeed, but I otter shut up.

I have tried clicking on the four warbler tabs four times with different 
net connections.  The first tab produces this URL:

http://www.naturesound.org/Sound%252520Files/What%252520Warbler/Warbler1.mp3

and I get the infamous "no such URL" note every time.  What am I doing 
wrong??  I want to hear and see the files  . . .
