Happy (almost) spring,
I'm sure quite a few of you have used xeno-canto.org in the past to
listen to bird songs (and if not, you should!). Xeno-canto now has a
feature that allows users to create 'sets' of recordings, so I've
created a set of recordings of Minnesota birds. I figure that there
are probably a few people here who want to 'study up' on bird songs
after this long winter, so I thought I'd share it here. The set
currently includes 645 recordings from 285 species, so most species
and vocalizations are represented. I'll probably be adding to it as
new (and better) recordings are added to xeno-canto.

One thing to note is that xeno-canto uses IOC taxonomy, so a few
species english names may not match exactly with the names you're
familiar with. (Here's a chart comparing Clements to IOC:

If you have suggestions for improvement (or have any questions about
xeno-canto / bird recording / etc), feel free to email me.
cheers,
Jonathon
