[cobirds] downloading birdsong recordings

Hello, all-- A little help needed: I'm wondering what are some CObirders' favorite websites on the Net for downloading birdsong recordings? I need to flesh out my Nano collection a bit. So many of the recordings on my CDs are limited in variation, or in locale. There are great places to listen

[cobirds] birdsong recording sites

Thanks to all for responding so nobly to my plea for downloading sites for birdsong/calls. The most popular recommendation was the xeno-canto site (which I did not realize I could copy from); Macaulay is also highly regarded. For southwestern birds, one idea was azfo.org. I can't wait to try
