Roger, again :-)
I use a $650.00 iPod and an $18.00 Dick Smith speaker that works
perfectly and allows me to find a call in about a 100th of the time
it used to with tapes.
The price disparity often amuses me in the field.
Cheers
Alan

Hi All,
The current thread on portable players for bird calls got me thinking
about sourcing the calls. There are several sources but most are by
no means comprehensive, e.g. the ABC collection. It appears the best
would be the BOCA set but it seems very expensive.
My question is why does it cost $200 for a set of bird calls on CD
when we can buy field guide to the same birds, complete with
illustrations and notes, for far less. I picked up the latest Simpson
and Day for $29:95 last week.
