This sounds like a good project, Dan. Maybe Nature Recordists could all
contribute to a small mammal (or even all mammal!) CD - I'm sure we all
have catalogued our local squirrel, chipmunk, antelope squirrel, prairie
dog, Marmot, Pika, etc., sounds. This would be a really valuable reference
work that hasn't been done. Just the other day I learned that some
chipmunks make a sound that is uncannily similar to a Pygmy Owl's call.
Also I have recorded trills from central California that I always thought
were an unidentified bird, but which now I suspect of being one of the
Antelope Squirrels.
Anyone interested? I'll compile, if I can get a few others to help out!
