I think it's a valid discussion topic, and wasn't trying to steer you
away from this group at all, just didn't know if you were aware of
that other group too. I haven't followed that one in a while.
Most people on this list tend to favor 'animal' recordings as nature
recordings, although certainly there are a fair number who record
wind, water, etc.
I do tend to agree though, at what point does your nature recording
become full on city ambience. Is it still nature recording if it has
a pigeon in it? I don't know.
