Dear All,
I am pleased to announce that a comprehensive DVD of bird vocalizations
for Ecuador is complete and at the duplicators.
This final publication by John V. Moore Nature Recordings of the bird
vocalizations from Ecuador culminates over 20 years of work, commencing wi=
th
the publication of the 80-minute cassette Sounds of La Selva in 1993. In=
this new publication we combine all of our previous 11 publications into a=
single DVD with 9670 separate recordings of 1501 species in MP3 format. 29=
44
of the recordings were not published in our previous publications. Only 5=
8%
of all the recordings were made by the three authors. Thus, we have relied=
on altogether 156 recordists to assemble what we consider the most
complete published sound presentation for a bird rich area. Of course, we =
are
biased!
Below is a summary of the publication:
Bird Sounds of Ecuador, A comprehensive collection
John V. Moore, Niels Krabbe, and Olaf Jahn with special contributions from=
M.Lysinger, P. Coopmans, P. Mean V, A. Spencer, R.S. Ridgely, D.F.Lane,
J.Nisslon, N. Athanas, L. Navarrette and 144 other recordists.
1 MP3 DVD
Suggested Retail Price: $37.50
The DVD also contains is a digital booklet with detailed recording data in=
PDF, WORD and EXCEL format as well as other pertinent information. The
recordings have no verbal announcements, are in MP3 format and the files a=
re
labeled (tagged) with embedded metadata, allowing searches for particular=
recordings on multi-media organizing software such as iTunes and mobile
devices such as iPod, iPhone or Palm. Our goal is to achieve a high degree=
of
completeness, not only presenting song repertoires but also a wide variety=
of
calls and mechanical sounds.
The publication should be ready for distribution within a month.
We have dedicated the publication to Paul Coopmans who, until his untimely=
death in 2006, was perhaps the number one expert on Ecuadorian bird
vocalizations. His incredible library of recordings and complete attention=
to
detail made him an indispensable member of the group that produced most of=
our
Ecuador publications. He undoubtedly would have been one of the primary
authors of this publication,and his unmatched knowledge and friendship are=
sorely missed.
My best to all,
John
