Is there anyone in the recordist community who might be able to help Guy
McGrane by providing some decent recordings to help do his survey? If so
please sent him an email.
Thanks.

Subject: Grassland Breeding Birds Survey-need recordings
I'm volunteering to survey grassland breeding birds on the Blue ridge
Parkway, under direction of Parkway staff. They have provided
recordings of birds, in order to draw them in and count them. The
recordings are badly clipped, probably when digitized from a tape,
resulting in a very staticky, buzzy sound. I have grave doubts
whether they will call any birds in.
Perhaps someone on the list can help me get hold of some better
recordings. If you can, please suggest a source for good recordings
of the following birds:
Vesper Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow
Lark Sparrow
Henslow's Sparrow
Grasshopper Sparrow
Bobolink
Diskcissel
Horned Lark
Eastern Meadowlark
Killdeer
Loggerhead Shrike
I wonder if songs recorded in other regions will effectively attract
the birds. Any experience with this would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Guy McGrane
