The recordings were done over a period of 40 minutes without moving. I was =

I did want to know what the bird in the background of some of the files was=

If you don't mind me asking, what part of the Maritimes are you from?=0D

Thanks,=0D

I had a chance to listen to the files today=0D

'bird' 1 - red squirrel=0D
bird 2 - downy woodpecker=0D
bird 3 - northern waterthrush=0D
bird 4 - downy woodpecker drumming=0D

I grew up birding in the Maritimes, so am quite sure of the IDs=0D

Many woodpeckers can be identified by their drumming. In this case, the=0D
downy drum is a fair bit slower than the hairy's would be. As well, I'm=0D
guessing files 2 and 4 were recorded in the same area - there is a=0D
yellow-bellied flycatcher ('pu-weee') calling in the background of both=0D

Thanks Martyn and to everyone else who replied,=0D
=0D
I'll delete the sound files tonight to free up the space.=0D
=0D
I gather from another current thread that there are participants in this=0D
site who have more space than Yahoo for uploading files. Maybe there's some=

point in doing a notice to that effect as a sticky (if that's the right=0D
word).=0D

Anyway, I'm much obliged.=0D
