While on the subject of cell phone sounds I have posted the call of a
Crested Oropendola in the files section, link here:

It always makes me smile this sound as the bird rotates on its perch
as it makes the call. It will be one memory of our trip to Trinidad
and Tobago that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
