True enough Greg, And now I'll try to make amends for my smartass
remark with an attempt to somehow turn this topic back around to
nature sound recording.
I like recording frog sounds. (That's a start) I do not know too
much about frogs that are going extinct, but I have heard that
various frogs around the world have shown drastically declining
numbers in recent years. Some say frogs can be good indicator
species, kind of like the canary in the coal mine, and that their
decline can correlate to a decline in overall ecosystem health. I
don't know how they sort out correlation and cause, but it must be a
fascinating field of work. I do not know what a nature sound
recordist in Portland Oregon, can do to help with this field of
work. But if anyone knows of any frog studies going on near here, I
would love to know.
