Alright, enough silliness. The sound is a 1/3 speed resampled Little Hermit
(Phaethornis longuemareus), a hummingbird from Costa Rica that sings for
hours on end in a lek. I posted it to demonstrate that hummers can be
complex singers with melodic songs...if you hear them in the right time
frame.

I see that several folks fear their mailboxes filling with extraneous sound
files, and if that happens, I'll reset the privilege, but I'd like to try i=

this way for a while.

In the meantime, if you are afraid of an overstuffed mailbox when you're
away, I suggest you reset your mail options too "digest" or "no mail" until
you're back home.

Another possibility, at least with my e-mail program, Eudora, is to set you=
r
options to leave all attachments over a certain threshold size on the serve=
r
until you ask for them. If you set that threshold at 50 K or so, you
shouldn't be troubled with too many attachments.

I'd also suggest that we all be aware of this problem and keep attachments
down to the minimum possible size to make your point - that means mono, not
stereo, and high-compression MP3.
