I am barely a year old on this group, and like others I have learned
lots about equipment, analysis and listening. Having equipped myself
reasonably well I now know better how my fieldcraft needs to improve
and so on. I post my clumsy attempts here so that I can "pay back"
the learning I have appreciated so much, and invite criticism from
which I can benefit. A chance response to one of those posts from
Lindsay Cargill of this group led me to perhaps having identified 3
different vocal groups of Crossbill (Loxia) visiting the Swiss Jura
in the winter of 2006/07. The recordings may be way below the
technical qualities of what others can do, but someone in the future
may be interested in their contents. What is feeble to one may be
gold to another.
