Re: re-connecting with Nature-Recordists

Tom,

 A couple of good places to get help with bird call recording identificatio=
n are:


 - post them to Inaturalist.org and other naturalists can listen to your re=
cordings and suggest identifications.   The down side of using Inaturalist =
is that you have to upload the recording to soundcloud first.  But it is th=
e easiest way to get suggestions on ID.


 - post them to xeno-canto.org.  The xeno-canto.org website has some of the=
 most knowledgeable sets of "bird ears" in the world and can almost certain=
ly identify your calls.


 Xeno-canto only houses bird calls though, so for arthropods and frogs you =
have to post to Inaturalist.  Of course, you know what Common Coquis sound =
like already, but there are other frogs introduced there as well...unfortun=
ately.
