Yeah, almost too literally like shooting fish in a barrel. They wanted
some representative sounds for a fund raising CD, so there it was. Zoo
Ave have got a really good program. They have a research center down
south as well, that we never made it to. Guess that'll have to be
Volume 2!!! Hope to get back there very soon.

Sounds good! While in Costa Rica, I spend a lot of my time in Guanacaste
as well, mostly in the ACG-- Area de Conservation Guanacaste. I have
never recorded animals in captivity (aside from my dog) but I imagine it
must be convenient to get so close to them.
The puma I met walking down a creek towards me wasn't nearly that
friendly, although I was happy it reluctantly turned around after a long
pause of contemplation, having decided not to stay for dinner.
I'll be back down there too, as soon as I get some kind of budget
together.
All the Best,
Jeff
