Thanks Martyn, GeoPaul, Suzanne.

That sample was from my backup system. The main recording was an hour 
and a quarter with EM-23s into MD; It was very quiet in old-growth 
redwoods, except for the creek. The winter wrens were the only birds 
that sang at "dawn chorus" time in February. After I tore down I 
walked by a tree where one was singing close, so I grabbed it with my 
Nagra ARES-M.

I've been Mr. Tech for many, many, years, but I'm making an effort to 
learn the species I record. Forgive me if I ask about the obvious...
