I have archived my best recordings on xeno-canto, a superb website where anyone can contribute audio recordings of neotropical birds. Some time in the future I may include some recordings on this site, but for the time being, just click here to see a listing of all my recordings that are currently available for free non-commercial use.

I am currently using an Edirol R-09 portable digital recorder for field recordings. My microphone is a Sennheiser ME-67 long shotgun combined with a Sennheiser K6 power module and a Shure A96F line matching transformer. The entire setup costs less than $1000 yet produces terrific recordings.
