Thanks to all for the comments. Very pleased to be able to share something that
gets appreciated.
Arnthor, your recording (very nice, by the way - both the aerial display that
we call drumming, and the very close chipping call) features Common Snipe,
Gallinago gallinago. My recording is of Great Snipe Galinago media, which is
fractionally larger, otherwise very similar looking, with a range from
north-east Europe into Asia. Interesting that they have completely different
display behaviour and sounds.
The mics were Sennheiser mkh30/50 MS set-up on low tripod, 100m cable to a
Sound Devices MP2 pre-amp and into a Tascam DAP1 DAT recorder. This was back in
2002, just about the time I changed to a 30/40 combo, which is still my
preferred mic set-up.

Great stuff Geoff - excellent recording and appreciated your description of the
field technique. Didn't envy all those mozzies flying around though...

Thank you for a lovely recording Geoff.
I always think of various grouse when I think of Lekking.
Is the Great Snipe related to the Grouse family?

Thanks for listening, Bernie and Ray.
Bernie: Great ideas. I'll be back up there in September so I'll try to
dig up some critters while I have the waders on! You mentioned recording
vernal pools near Mono Lake. I'd love to hear them. Were they released
on one of your discs?
Ray: You can certainly visit. Contact Wave Farm in Acra where it's
installed (via the link on my page) to figure out their visitor hours.
I've been thinking about above-the-water sounds too, but there's a road
nearby (which I can actually hear via the hydrophones sometimes) and I'd
have to do some thinking since the original intention was to reveal
sounds that aren't immediately perceivable to humans.

The insect larvae (1984 recording) audio files can be found in Chapter 3,
example 21, in my recent book, The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins
of Music in the World�s Wild Places (Little Brown), Zach. Check it out.
