xeno-canto :: bird sounds from around the world

xeno-canto :: bird sounds from around the world: "www.xeno-canto.org ('XC') is a website for sharing recordings of bird sounds from all across the world. It was started and is chiefly maintained by Willem-Pier Vellinga and Bob Planqué. XC is run by the Xeno-canto Foundation, a not-for-profit entity in the Netherlands. The foundation wants to use the evolving possibilities of the internet to:

popularise bird sound recording worldwide,
improve accessibility of bird sounds,
& increase knowledge of bird sounds.
So, the recordings are here for
enjoyment,
education,
conservation,
& science."
