What an amazing piece of Music, no sarcasm what so ever in that statement.

simply fantastic, so wonderful that you can capture their voicings, the "talking" in an undistrubed way...the bird sings taking in the way it's voice sounds in the space.....

Beautiful sound! I definitely VOTE for it!!!!

thanks again for your fantastic recordings! This bird is a great improvisor!

Tasmania's rainforests and old growth eucalypt forests have been subjects to decades of conflict between pro-logging groups and environmentalists. Thankfully, significant areas of these unique forests have been gazetted as World Heritage  sites and hopefully other areas such as the Tarkine wilderness will benefit from similar protection in the future.

This recording was made on the slopes of Mount Field National Park, and captures the sounds of some Tasmania's unique bird species.

The sound recorded was for a project around the flamingos of the Yucatan. I arrived at this location to record surround sound of an estuary that was located inland. There was a tower about 50 ft. high that I climbed to record the sounds of the birds as they were waking up for the day. I was in the tower by 4:30am and recorded for the next five hours. This is as the sun was just coming up and the birds were calling out in waves of strange noises. Some of which did not sound like birds and the guide that was with me could not name. It was quite the experience. I was in the Yucatan for a period of two weeks and during that time was able to record in many different areas and of course I spent a lot of time with the flamingos. I recorded using a Sound Devices 664 mixer/recorder and at times used a Sound Devices 663. Most of the recordings were done using a Schoeps Stereo set up and a surround sound Holophone.
