Jay's suggestion is a good one, when possible given how folks are making
recordings. One note to Ken and others: I almost always listen to NFCs at
quarter speed, with a filter on so that I only hear the frequency range of the
call (and not the low frequency stuff that would blast my ears at quar
Thank you Jay. I cannot hear most of the clips posted here. This is apparently
a "thing" where some people can hear the bird sounds in these short clips and
others cannot. I just hear a burst of static. Please put enough ambient sound
on BOTH sides of the bird sound for our ears to hear the soun

Hey all,
I've posted this before, but I would implore folks posting example
recordings to this list to leave a few seconds of sound before and after
the call in question so you can actually hear it. With only a second-long
recording, all I hear is a burst of sound with no time for my ear to
