bird calls on the internet

["Peter Shute" <>]

There are also a few recordings at
http://abc.net.au/archives/av/birds.htm.

I started out the same way, trying to find them on the net, but there
are too many missing.  I ended up just buying the whole set of BOCA CDs.
Because I can now easily browse through them or just listen to the whole
lot, I have become much more familiar with them all and this helps when
I hear something new - I often know I've heard it on the CDs so I can
find it more quickly.  It's not cheap at about $200, but I think it's
worth it - and I'm the biggest cheapskate out.  I've loaded them all as
mp3's onto my phone, so I can listen to them on the train.

Could your barking sound be a fox?  Have a listen to this recording:
