I thought the bobolink song was pretty good! I'd keep the quiet 'whining'
noises at the end; I'm quite sure it was the subject bird making them...I
believe I've heard male bobolinks make that sound...in the presence of a
female or rival male? It's been a few years since I've had the pleasure of
being around that species...

Subject: inexpensive sound card with S/PDIF?

I don't know PCs, so I pass this question on to nature recordists:

If you can get over to Necedah, you may be able to see and record 
the Whooping Cranes. Necedah is where the young Whoppers are taught 
to follow the ultralights. The birds from the last three years 
return to that area and the new class should be flying in September.
You can learn more about them at:
