Nice report, Martyn.

>I have just gotten back from a trip to ANWR. I got back late Wednesday night
>after a 5 day stint up there. I recorded some birds from my wish list that I
>had hoped to encounter and was very pleased with the outcome.
>This is the vocalization from a White-crowned sparrow.

>Thousands of White-crowned sparrows, Golden-crowned sparrows, Lapland
>longspurs grace the open tundra. I recorded much of the landscape in the
>event of it being opened up for drilling (I pray not)
>
>This is no my celestial home, I absolutely love it there, millions of
>migrating birds on every corner you look, I was up from 3:30am everyday
>going to bed at around 11:00pm. I must say I have been walking around now
>like a headless chicken trying to get and catch up on my sleep.

>One thing I will add is the recorder I used. The sound devices 722 is the
>best recorder on this planet, I love its response and compliments all the
>mics I have. In quiet environments like this, you don't hear noisy pre-amps
>just your heart beating. The long battery power guarantees you will not be
>let down and the back-up pack I had made by Leonard at sonic studio ensures
>that I have nothing to worry about.
