David and birding-aussies,
I am going to work with Greg at trying to provide sound files and links
to sound files of as many of the world's birds as we can. For sounds
that we obtain permission to use Greg will convert to mp3. For birds
that we can not obtain permission to use we will try to provide a link
to a sound file on the web. I have looked a little and there are
already lots of bird sounds available on the web spread across many
different sites. This will be hosted at my web site
(http://www.mangoverde.com) which also has some other useful things for
those intersted in birds. I am trying to highlite bird conservation
issues and also have some quick indices for European and Mexican field
guides. If anyone has sound files that they own intellectually and
would like to contribute to this endeavor please let me know. Credit
will be given on the web site.
Cheers,
Bill Hull
Cincinnati, OH, USA
