alan dalton
 | I'm an Irish birder currrently living in Sweden. I've been birding from a young age, have travelled widely and have always been keenly interested in bird identification. This naturally extended to bird calls and songs as a means of helping to find good birds in the field. Despite paying close attention to calls and learning as many as possible, the arrival of the internet has seen a keening of interest in birding acoustics and I finally got my recording equipment in March 2012, a Telinga Stereo Dat Mic/Pro8 handle, coupled to a Marrantz 661 Recorder. A superb bit of kit which immediatly expanded my birding experience, looking forward to building up a decent library of reference material. Particularily interested in calls given by migrating birds, diurnal and nocturnal, looking forward to sessions recording these on passage. A large learning curve lies ahead as a fledging sound recorder, hopefully coming out the other end wiser, with a wider appreciation of birdsound... |

Aline SPRIET
 | Hi, I live in Belgium and I discovered ornithology in 2007. Since then, I've been listening to bird songs with great interest. It makes a big difference to me when I can recognise them around me without even seeing them! I started recording bird songs in May 2011, with an Olympus LS11. I chose this material on the basis of Xeno Canto members comments. It seems to be a good and light equipment to start. But now, I dream of a Telinga! To edit my recordings I use Audacity. I try to avoid or minimise filtering because I feel it can alter the songs. |

Andrew Spencer
 | I have been birding since I was five years old, and recording ever since my first trip to South America, when I realized how much I was missing by not having a recording rig. I am especially interested in neotropical avifauna, and am currently working as a guide for Tropical Birding. I spent the fall of 2009 as the volunteer bird guide at Cristalino Jungle lodge in Brazil, and three months in Peru. I've also recorded in the US, Panama, northwestern South America, and West Papua. My gear at the moment is a Sound Devices 702 and a Telinga 22" parabola with a Sennheiser mkh20. |
| Andrew Whitehouse | Anthropologist currently doing research into how people listen to birds. I'm also starting to make sound recordings, particularly in Brazil. I use a Fostex FR2-LE and Sennheiser ME66. The 'Listening to Birds' website http://www.abdn.ac.uk/birdsong/ |
| Anthony Dickins | I have seen better days. All the police and birds look very young now. But never mind, I don't get in a flap about it. My doc says I must not flap. He has recently clipped my wings and told me to sell my narrow boat. Thing is, should I get a new doctor? Nah, I'll sell the boat and save a lot of money on mooring fees etc. I will miss watching the ducks along the rivers and canals though. I live a stones throw from Southampton water on the New Forest side so must not complain. Past throwing stones now - too much bother bending down.... It is good to go and watch the waders fly in their undulating flocks waiting for the tide to uncover the mud. |
| Anthony Crease | I live in El Pauji in the southern Gran Sabana, Venezuela and my spare time is pretty much dedicated to bird observation, particularly vocalizations. I use a Sennheiser mic with an Edirol recorder. We greatly enjoy sharing with visitors our potential 500+ species along the Pauji road. |

Arjan Boonman
 | My main interest is echolocation in bats and I am presently collecting echolocation calls from all over Indonesia. Apart from ultrasound, I am also interested in audio and if possible I collect soundscapes (stereo) from rainforests in Indonesia before they are all gone. Since I inevitably record birds this way I will ask members of the forum every now and then to help ID recordings. In the 90s I recorded a large amount of mainly european birds, now in the Humboldt archive in Berlin. I have lived in the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, France and presently live in Bogor, Indonesia. |
Arnold Meijer
 | I'm a Dutch Birder living on the coast in Katwijk where I have found a Daurian Jackdaw in 1995. I'm a twitcher since the early eighties and went on birdingtrip to various countries in South-America, North-America, Africa, Europe and Asia (all time favorite). I started recording with a Sony Minidisc and a small Sennheiser and made a lot of horrendous recordings in Peru, which, thank God, are all lost. Later in Vietnam it went much better, but I found out that the Sony Minidisc made a background noise so I switched over to a Sony Proffesionall Walkman with a Sennheiser 67m that I have used in Sabah and Thailand (fifht trip). The analoge tapes, however, were a nuisance so this year in February, prior to a trip to Eagle Nest, I got myself an Olympus LS-10. I love it! My recording is mostly inspired by Jelle Scharring and my recordings can also be found on his Birds of tropical Asia. |

| Brian Cox | Been birding since the mid 70’s initially in the UK and got into world birding in the late 80’s, mainly in the neotropics but recently did a 6 month trip to SE Asia. Started recording in the mid 1990’s with some basic sound gear (Sony TCM 59V + ME66 mic) but last year I bought a Olympus LS10 and I’m very impressed with it. Having an internal and external drive I can have all my pre-loaded sounds on the internal one and then record direct onto the external one, so removing the need for a 2nd machine. However you do need a 20dB booster amp with the sennheiser ME66 mic. |

Chris Benesh
 | A full time guide for Field Guides since 1987 and a big fan of recording bird vocalizations. For many years, I recorded with a Sony TCM-5000. More recently, I have used MD and HiMD for digital recordings. Since 2008, I have switched to a Sony PCM-D50 digital recorder that I use with a Sound Devices MP-1 preamp and a K6/ME-66 Sennheiser mic. Most of my field work has been in North and Central America, as well as Australia. When I can find the time I hope to contribute a great deal more to Xeno Canto. XC is a great resource for birders and biologists. I can be contacted at: cdbenesh AT cox.net |
| Chris Harrison | I am a herpetologist and bird watcher. I mostly like to record frog calls but occasionally points my microphone up to birds as well. |
Chris Hind
 | I am a UK birder living in North Cumbria. I have been interested in bird sounds for many years and have recently started making recordings. I use a Sony MD recorder and ATUS Telemike. The MD format allows me to keep all the original recordings. The compact set-up suits me as it allows me to carry photographic equipment also. Producing sonagrams has given me a much better understanding of what I am hearing. |
Chris Milensky
 | Ornithologist with the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History. |
| Chris Parrish | Enthusiastically birded over much of Venezuela from 1974 to 1986 while teaching mathematics at Universidad Simón Bolívar, in the mountains above Caracas. I taped bird songs in Venezuela from 1983 to 1986 using a Sony TCM-5000 casette recorder and Sennheiser ME80 microphone. More recently (since Sept 2006), I have been using a Nagra ARES-BB+ recorder with Telinga parabolic reflector, Sennheiser MKH20 microphone, and Amadeus Pro audio editing software. |
Chris Tessaglia-Hymes
 | Started watching birds at a young age, but did not become an avid birder until 1991. Most of my experience has been limited to the Northeastern United States. I have an excellent ear for bird songs, calls, and flight notes. I find nocturnal migration extremely fascinating and have spent many long nights listening to the busier night migrations using an OldBird.org-style rooftop-mounted microphone. I now try to record migrations most nights using Raven Pro software. I credit night flight call guru Bill Evans for sucking me into the field of night migration study in the late-1990s. Many of my recordings are purely for documentation purposes, and are almost never of high quality for major audio production (CDs/DVDs). I hope to add more examples as time allows, and hope that these examples are useful to someone. |

Christian B. Andretti
 | I am a young Brazilian ornithologist, where I have been developing mainly work with populations and communities in Amazonian birds. I have experience with vocalizations of Amazonian birds and have participated in expeditions in several localities in the Brazilian Amazon. My main interest in ornithology are: beta diversity, variation in the corner in polytypic species, biogeography and conservation of Amazonian birds. |
Christian Brinkman
 | 20 year old Dutch birder with a wide interest (moult, ringing, subspecies, seawatching etc). Opportunistic recordist, recording mainly whenever I come across birds worth recording (in other words: birds that are far away enough from traffic, public) but occasionally a sound 'hunter'. Recording with: Sennheiser MKH 416 P48 ( + Phantom Power Sennheiser MZA 14 P48) and a Sony MZ-N710 |
Christoph Bock
 | Hi, I am Christoph, 45, living in Berlin, where I also studied biology at the Free University. Until 1998 I work as freelance ornithologist. My main subject is marine ornithology since 2002, so I joined different seawatching projects at the North Sea and Baltic Sea coast including many offshore seabird surveys. And as you can imagine, my passion is birding. I am recording with a Sennheiser K6/ME66 bundle kit and a Sony PCM-M10. On PC I prefer to work with Audacity 1.3 (beta version). |
Chubzang Tangbi
 | I am from Bhutan. I began leading birding tours in Bhutan since 2000 and has worked with the International Crane Foundation. I am currently in Wales pursuing my degree in Photography. My recent wildlife photography work has been exhibited in Nature Reserves and Art Centres in the UK. I also enjoy recording bird songs while i am out in the field. I use Sony HiMD with sennheiser microphone. |
Chuck Davis
 | Amateur birder, botanist, forester, geologist, astronomer, and cartographer. I'm fascinated by the soundscape, I'm just getting started with recording. The Upper Texas Coast is my area of interest. |
Chuck Sexton
 | I am a retired wildlife biologist (USFWS 1994-2010) and active birder. I was Texas regional editor (with Greg Lasley) of American Birds for ages and served a couple of stints on the Texas Bird Records Committee. Most of my recording efforts were aimed at the endangered Black-capped Vireo but my resources date from the casette tape era and I have not converted all that stuff to digital! I bird mostly in Texas but have travelled extensively in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America. (Although long in tooth, I am not as old as my picture--That's my gg grandfather; I have his eyes...and hair style.) |

Cody Porter
 | I'm currently a senior undergraduate in the zoology program at Michigan State University. In addition to being an avid birder, I'm very interested in speciation (specifically ecological speciation and other forms of prezygotic isolation), and have recently become interested in studying these processes in birds, where vocalizations often play a paramount role. Most of my recordings are from southeast Michigan, where I do most of my birding, but a good portion are from the spring/summer of 2011 when I worked on a study of Bristle-thighed Curlews in western Alaska. |
Colin Trainor
 | Email: halmahera@hotmail.com I recently completed a PhD on bird, ant, reptile and mammal habitat/disturbance/biogeographic patterns in East and West TIMOR and Lesser Sunda Islands. I've mostly worked on birds of Nusa Tenggara, firstly with Birdlife International - Indonesia Programme (1997-2002). I've visited many of the Nusa Tenggara & Banda Sea islands with recordings from Lembata, Pantar, Alor, Atauro, Wetar, Damar, Roti, Timor, Semau, Kisar, Romang, Leti, Sermata and Babar. Since 2002, I've worked in Timor-Leste and have camped at about 30 locations over 120 nights. I should have multiple recordings of the landbirds, including a lot of variation. I hope the Timor calls might be a useful resource for Timorese students and managers. I've mostly used a Sony Professional Tape, but now are using a much lighter Olympus LS-10 SD card recorder. Timor and Nusa Tenggara publications can be downloaded here: Web: http://cdu.academia.edu/DrColinTrainor |

Craig Fosdick
 | An obsessive-compulsive birder, and a wildlife biologist by day. I'm convinced that I get as excited about bird vocalizations as I do about birds. I have been birding for about 27 years, and have always loved hearing, enjoying, and trying to understand not only what birds were talking, but what they were saying. A fellow xeno-canto contributor, Ryan O'Donnell, introduced me to the recording process, and I became a convert. I use an Olympus digital voice recorder (LS-10) that is usually hooked up to a Sennheiser ME-67 shotgun microphone with a K6 power module. I edit my recordings using Audacity and RavenLite 1.0. |

 | A guide for Field Guides Inc.: www.fieldguides.com, and a honorary research associate at the LSU Museum of Natural Science, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA: http://appl003.lsu.edu/natsci/lmns.nsf/index. I am keenly interested in avian vocal diversity, particularly of Neotropical birds. For over a decade, I have been studying the avifauna of Peru particularly, but am keen to learn about birds and their voices wherever I go. Until 2007, I was using cassette recorders (I went through many, finding the Sony TCM-5000 to be the best--I used it from 2000-2007, alas it is now extinct), but now I use a Sound Devices 702 and a Sony PCM-D50, both of which are excellent digital flashcard recorders. |

Eric DeFonso
 | I am an increasingly obsessed amateur who has found his 'calling' in studying and enjoying bird song. I began birding in my mid 20s, but it is only since about 2005 that I have immersed myself in the subject and sought to devote myself to increasing our understanding of birds and their lives. I am currently writing a book on bird songs in the media and I use this site extensively to aide my research. In 2010 I bought my own recording rig, and now contribute recordings here and to the Macaulay LNS. I'm using a Marantz PMD661 recorder with a Sennheiser ME66/K6 shotgun mic. I spent all of 2011 traveling South America and recording every chance I had. All submitted sounds were obtained naturally (without playback) unless otherwise indicated. I also generally don't use editing or filtering. For a given recording there is often much more than is submitted here - just let me know if you are interested in the original, full-length .wav files. |

 | You won't meet a more fanatic birder. My first major birding trip was overland from UK to India (through Afghanistan and Iran), followed a few years later with a trip from Egypt through the Sudan to Kenya (it took 8 months!). Sadly, I had no recording gear in those days... I subsequently spent about 12 years based in Southeast Asia, doing my PhD in Malaysia and later a post-doc at Danum Valley, Sabah. After that I lived in Thailand and then five years in Indonesia before moving to the neotropics. I was based in the beautiful Andean town of Cusco (Peru) for nearly seven years whilst traveling extensively throughout the neotropics and elsewhere in pursuit of good birding. In 2009, however, I moved back to Malaysia and am now based there for the foreseeable future. I used to work in bird conservation (for IUCN, BirdLife International etc) but now I work mainly as a bird guide. I presently lead tours for Birdtour Asia- www.birdtourasia.com. I was using a Sony TCM5000 (modified bird version) for recording until mid 2008 but now use a Roland Edirol R-09 (and a Marantz PMD661 before it inexplicably stopped working). My microphone is a Sennheiser ME66 connected to the recorder using a Shure A96F. I used to think that this was a great setup (especially when combined with a pair of 10x42 Swarovision bins!) but I have now had to bin three R-09's because the microphone input has stopped functioning properly- I think partly due to the rough nature of the Shure A96F input jack). I am not starting to use an Olympus LS-11 - and will let you know how it works out! The majority of my original recordings made on tapes are deposited at BLOWS in UK. Many of my recent digital recordings have been uploaded to the Avian Vocalizations Center http://avocet.zoology.msu.edu/. These will eventually also be uploaded to Xeno-canto as mp3 files. |
| Fred Prak | My name is Fred Prak and I record birdsounds during migration counts on "Telpost-Haarzuilens" near Utrecht in the Netherlands. So most of my recordings are flight calls of migrating birds. I use a MD disk recorder with an improvised parabolic microphone. Unfortunately there is always a lot of background noise on the recording site, this is produced by one of the busiest highways of the Netherlands the A2 and the main dutch airport nearby. That is the reason that I filter most recordings to get an better "view" on the bird calls. My main goal in sound recording is to collect migration flight calls which can be used by other birders to recognize migrating species. |

I do my research work at Cozumel Island, site that interests me because the ecological value of their unique-enemic animal species and the current ecological problems due by urban growth that afect birds. I recently discovered the world of sounds and I founded in Bioacoustics a novel tool to study the effects of noise that humans do with our machines on the songs of birds. Acoustic ecology seems an interesting area from the scientific point of view, but it is also important to me from a cultural and artistic point of view. |

 | Was born and raised in the Ecuadorian Amazon in a village named Misahualli, where he spend most of his childhood. His lifelong interest in ecology began at the age of fourteen when he participated in a local bird survey carried out by the students of the Jatun Sacha Biological Station. He subsequently studied natural history and ecology at the station with the intention of using this knowledge to provide guided tours in Ecuador's rich wild terrain. He began guiding at the age of sixteen. After many years of working for nearly all of the eco-lodges in the Ecuadorian Amazon, he completed his training as naturalist at the Tiputini Biological Station. He has decided to establish his legacy in the Anthropological Huaorani Reserve, on the Shiripuno River. Jarol is a co-owner of the new Shiripuno Lodge ( www.shiripunolodge.com ) |

 | I currently work as a freelance bird guide in Nelspruit, South Africa, and would like to assist through projects such as this in building up a collection of bird sound recordings for Africa. I have always been a very avid birder having grown up in the Kruger National Park, and in many ways sound recording is just another step in the process of learning more about birds and developing a greater knowledge about this, and nature in general. |

John van der Woude
 | Dutch birder, made many private worldbirding trips, always with my (birding!) spouse Nollie, a biologist. See my website for our trip reports. There are/were many sounds on my website too, and I am glad to have donated them all at the start-up of XenoCanto. Most of the recordings were made with a Sony Walkman Professional cassette recorder or a Sony minidisc, with a small Sennheiser shotgun. Nowadays, I mostly only bring our Olympus LS-11 recorder. |
John van Dort
 | I'm a Dutch birder doing field work in Central America and occasionally North America. I've been birding since the early 1980's but am relatively new to sound recording. While birding, I don't like to shlep a lot of gear, so I do all my recordings with a simple point-and-shoot camera, the Canon PowerShot SX-40. Works well for me! My birding blog is at http://johnvandort-ontheroad.blogspot.com/. |
Jon Friedman
 | I am an ornitho-something-or-other. I am also a wildlife and bird photography and naturalist field guide working in Latin America, Africa and Alaska. I worked as a guide at La Selva in Ecuador, did a little population biology research at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology and now have created/own some travel companies.
I absolutely love xeno-canto (it's nice to be surrounded by fellow bird nerds!) and want to thank all the recordists for providing such great mp3's that have helped me and my clients identify the birds on my trips. I have been birding the neotropics for 25+ years but still consider myself a beginner. I am interested in all varieties of birds, not just obscure ones. I appreciate their natural beauty, unusual behaviors and esoteric oddities. My websites: Expedition Wild, Belize Birding Tours (new in 2011) and Flyfish Alaska. |
Jon King
 | Manic birder since a few years old, and fortunate to have lived on four continents. Always had a special interest in vocalisations, but my recording has been erratic. After years in academia and non-profits, most recently I worked as ornithologist for an international environmental consultancy firm. I have a special interest in endangered and poorly-known species, which I am pursuing in a sort of semi-retirement, with current focus on Latin America. At present I use a Sennheiser ME66/K6 with an Edirol R-09HR. |
| Jon Lurås | I have been watching birds in Norway for 30 years and now I will travel at least once to the neotropics! I run a oneman computer consultant company. |
Jonas Nordin
 | Swedish biologist and birder living in Stockholm. Started to make bird recordings in mid-90´s with a Sony WM6-DC and a crappy mic. Jumped on to the MD-wagon with a Sony MZR-900 and a Sennheiser MKE-300, then saluting the introduction of solid state recorders and purchased a Fostex FR2-LE. Not really happy with the handling properties I changed to a Marantz PMD-661. Now mainly using a Telinga PRO-6 with a Stereo Dat mic, complemented with a Sennheiser ME-66/K6 shotgun as a backup.

Jonathan Martinez
 | I'm a french birdwatcher living in China Shenzhen. I decide to spend time on bird's songs and calls recording because i realyze that this is the key to identify most of the skulker chinese birds... Also because it is very difficult to find good materials for a lot of chinese species. So i do hope i can give a small contibution on it, in return of the good help provided by xeno-canto to me this past year. |
Jonathon Jongsma
 | Software engineer by day, I got into recording after picking up a cheap Tascam DR-07. I've since upgraded to a Sennheiser ME66/K6 microphone (with a Hosa MIT-156 line matching transformer) and an Olympus LS-10S. Most of my recordings so far are from my home state of Minnesota in the USA.

Jonn Leffmann
 | I'm a photographer and an ornithologist, and I've many times had help with determining a species of bird through its song and call. That's how it is; you often hear a bird before you see it, and you know from the sound what kind of bird it is, and from there you either ignore the "uninteresting" ones or quickly perk up to try spot the bird you're listening to. Xenocanto is an excellent sound database that I've had lots of use for. |

 | Hello folks, I'm a dedicated birder, roaming all over the world and rather new to sound recording. I made some recordings at Frasers Hill, Malaysia in the nineties, some of them are on 'Birds of Tropical Asia' from my younger brother Jelle. At the end of 2010 I got me a Olympus LS5 (is there any difference with the LS10?) and now I'm getting enthousiastic again. What a nice gadget. I'm saving now for a real microphone like a Senheisser. I will try to upload recordings regularly. Kees (CJG) Scharringa, Heiloo, Netherlands |
| Keith Blomerley | UK birder, born in Manchester in 1968. These sound recordings are taken from video clips, which is my main interest. The quality isn't up to proper microphone standards, but the zoom microphone in the camcorder can get some reasonable results. |

After spending most of my life in New York City I recently moved to El Valle de Anton, Panama, where I live with my wife, Rebeca, and young daughter, Magdiel (a budding birder!). I am working almost full-time as a birding guide, for both Ancon Expeditions and for my private company, Panama Gateway (www.panamagateway.com). I am also the propietor of The Canopy Report (www.canopyreport.com), a website dedicated to discussions regarding rare birds in central Panama. My interest in the birds of Panama borders on the obsessive. My recordings are split between those collected from a video-mic connected to my camcorder to the better ones from my Sennheiser directional- the difference is obvious! |

Recording equipment: - Sony MZ-RH10 with Soundman OKM II (until 07-04-2009) - Zoom H2 (from 03-05-2009 until 29-04-2010) Since 04-05-2010 I use the Sony PCM-D50 (with Soundman OKM II or built-in Micros) Website (in German): www.untere-havel.info |
Martin Riesing
 | I am interested in birds and also record bird sounds since my youth. First I used cassette recorders, SONY Walkman recorders, then I switched to DAT in the 90ies and prefer a binaureal microphone: DCM-8, PCM-M1 and now the OLYPUS LS-11 with OKM Pro (Soundman). I also test AKG and other mics. Most of the time I use a RememBird II for recordings made in the field. I recorded and birded in Europe and Asia (Java/Bali). http://www.bird.at Instead of posting more recordings to my website I promise to contribute to this GREAT project. Proud of being part of it. Original recordings in full resolution / quality are kept for further (re-)analysis. Happy Birding and Sound Recording! Martin |

My Indonesian bird sound recordings were made while doing fieldwork for my PhD on community ecology of woodpeckers. I recorded between 1997 and 2001 in East and West Kalimantan (Borneo) and on the small islands Bunguran (Natuna), Lingga, Karimata, and Simeulue. The equipment I used was a Telinga parabolic microphone and a Sony TCD-D7 DAT walkman. In 2006 I recorded in Myanmar with a MicoTrack digital recorder and Sennheiser shotgun microphone. |

Mike Nelson
 | I have birded on and off around the world for 34 years but only seriously since 1997 when I could afford to travel farther than my back yard. Several trips to Central and South American, North, East, South and West Africa, South Central and Southeast Asia and Europe. Originally British I lived overseas in the middle east, North Africa and the Caribbean and now live in the United States. I got into recording in April of 2008, though I had made a few tape recordings with a dictaphone previously. I Started out with a Sony digital dictaphone but now I use an Olympus LS-10, which I've had since 2009 and a Sennheiser ME67 as of June 2011. I also have an Audio Technica ATR6550 which has served me well but my ATR55, that I started with, has given up the ghost. My current picture is me recording Square-tailed Saw-wings circling the Bandjoun Palace near Bamenda, Cameroon. madbirder-at-surfbirder.com. |

| Niels J Larsen | I live in Dominica in the Eastern Caribbean. I use a remembird for recording, so output is in mp3 format. To make sure I do not needlessly degrade the recording, I use MP3DirectCut to crop and increase gain as needed. I do not do any filtering, mainly because I do not know how (smile). I usually have a slightly longer version of the recording in the database of originals. |

Making a point of not filtering recordings. All uploaded recordings were made under natural conditions without use of playback, unless otherwise stated. Recordings from since the early 1990s were made with a Sennheisser ME66 or ME67 microphone and Sony TCM 5000 tape-recorder. |
| Nigel Jackett | I am a zoologist based out of Perth, Western Australia, but grew up on the south coast of New South Wales. My primary interests are birds and reptiles, and I've only just become interested in the fascinating art of recording bird calls. Currently, I'm recording with the inbuilt microphone on my iPod. I hope to fill in some of the gaps in the Australian bird calls on XC, particularly those within the Bassian fauna group. |
Nils Agster
 | Already loved birds and birdwatching at the age of 4.. and I expect my interest to last for life. I never travelled much but watch birds mostly quite close to my hometown in southern Germany, where I discovered a Scops Owl in 2010 - and wasn´t able to record it properly, because I didn´t have any idea about equipment etc! The poor recording got lost after some time.. Quite disappointing, so I decided to get an Olympus LS 5 which makes a quite good job. It´s with me anytime I go out birding. I´m looking forward to all-day migration counting in autumn and hope to get some nice recordings of rare birds then. |

 | Live on Isla Colon, Bocas del Drago, Panama. My wife and I have been birding for about 20 years. We also surf, so combine the 2 activities here in the tropics. Have travelled to Mexico, CR, Peru in search of birds and waves, also. Have made many recordings for playback but never kept any. Now that I know about Xeno-Canto I will do a better job of getting recordings on the website. Use a Sennheiser mic. Have used Creative Jukebox, Archos Jukebox, but recently bought an Olympus WS-310 digital voice recorder. It has built in speaker, small but powerful and high quality. Looks like this is going to work well. |

Renan Campos de Oliveira
 | I'm a biologist from Brazil and started to get seriously working on ornithology since 2007 when I started a surveying of all the bird species from a park in Cornélio Procópio - PR, and until then I've been going to the field for birding periodically in many locations throughout the region of Londrina - PR, city where I live since I was born. I gave many courses about Ornithology and Birdwatching in Pantanal and Atlantic Forest, and worked as ornithologist consultant in many environmental studies for companies around my state and neighboring states. My specialties nowadays are the birds from Atlantic forest, Pantanal and I'm starting to specialize with Cerrado's birds too. |

| Richard E. Webster | All recordings are with Sennheiser ME-67. Since early 2008, all were recorded with a Fostex FR-2LE, prior to that with various Sony Minidiscs. Very few recordings are in response to playback, and those are labeled RPB on filename and hopefully in remarks. Many recordings are edited with a graduated high pass filter, intending to remove nothing within the bird's frequency range. Intervals are not shortened without noting that, except for the occasional very brief glitch. If you have a serious project, I can get you unedited wav files for most cuts, especially 2008 on. But be patient--I am periodically away for weeks at a time at work or play, and if my non-reply goes on for too long, drop me another polite e-mail to stir me up and I really will try to help.

 | I am a birder from a little town in the west from Frankfurt am Main in Germany. Since 1998 I have a bird sound website: http://www.vogelstimmen-wehr.de/ and want to get all birds from europe with fotos and birdsounds. Many years I used minidisc from Sony: MZ-R30, NH700 and last MZ-RH1. Microphones were whole the time Sennheiser ME80 and ME88 (80cm long), last one I cut in the middle to put it in my bag. The recorded sound was ok and I used it on all my tours. On Minidisc I recorded only in pcm without compression. Since a half year I use the digital wav-recorder Olympus-DM550. In PC I work only with audacity 1.3.12. |

| Ted Cooper | Birds have long distracted and captivated me. They have consumed some prime chunks of an otherwise productive life. I believe that a planet filled with such marvels is a richer place. Birds symbolize to me the essence of life, its tenuous, marvelous, and persistent mission to survive. When I was younger, I trekked the rainforests of Ecuador, Panama, and Costa Rica with microphones and cameras. I've too many sounds, some great, some from the bad-old analog days on cassette, others include a few mouth-watering digital tidbits. I've skulked here for too long, and now it is time to get the yellow-fungus-ed toes wet, to add a few voices to the cyber-soundscape. |
| Ted Miller | I study bird sounds, and have special interests in Charadriiformes and Piciformes (e.g. Piping Plover -- Can. J. Zool. 83:579–595, 2005). Recently I've started some work on anatomy of the vocal tract (e.g. eiders -- J. Avian Biol. 38:224-233, 2007; murres -- J. Orn. DOI 10.1007/s10336-008-0304-z). |

Teus Luijendijk
 | I am a birder from The Netherlands, already highly interested in bird vocalisations from the early days of my 'birding career' on. I like very much to travel to see and record as many bird species as possible, although I'm hindered somewhat in doing so by a health problem. For equipment, I am now using a small directional video microphone combined with a Marantz SD-card recorder (which is a lot better than the Sony Walkman WM-6 used until recently!). |

Timo Janhonen
 | A birder living in Raasepori, southwest Finland. I'm slowly beginning to realise how to make proper recordings. I'm using Fostex FR-2LE + Teling Pro-7. I'm greatly hindered from spending enough time in the woods (which are pretty OK in a southern Finland -context) surrounding my home by having a day job. Some of my recordings can also be found at Tarsiger.com. |
| Timothy Boucher | I am a birder orginally from South Africa, now based in Washington DC. I am a geographer working for a large conservation organization - which occasionally gets me to cool places. Only recently started recording bird calls. |

tom stevens
 | I am currently a graduate student at TCU. I working on finishing up my thesis on the indirect effects of wind turbines on a winter bird community. I am also doing research on the birds of a location on the Caribbean Slope of the Tilaran Mountians on Costa Rica. I am surveying the avifauna of the area with audio recordings hence my presence here. I will probably be a frequent poster of unidentified calls and will hopefully contribute some good recordings to the site. All of my recordings are of natural vocaliztions unless stated otherwise. |

Volker Arnold
 | Born 1947. Archaeologist and museum leader up to 2009, living near the western coast of Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany. Learned bird songs when 10 years old and took first records with my father about 1960. Newly interested since 2005, also with recording birds in forest, pastures, settlements and agricultural landscape. Normally, I record calls and songs by bringing out the recording instruments (oftenly still in the night) and see later, what I've trapped. Therefore I use cheap recorders, now Zoom H1 and H2. For analysing and filtering those very long records I use Audacity.
My recordings are free for non-commercial use, also when altered. If you contact me (h.v.arnold |
