Okay, this is kind of goofy I suppose, but there was a lot of bird sounds this morning, so I experimented and made a little recording. Actually, I made a couple, but the camcorder, while more sensitive, makes a lot of motor noise and is pretty much unusable. So I recorded on a computer using a wireless microphone, but it isn't as sensitive, so had to use a sound editor to really pump up the audio.
The dominant sound you'll hear is the Olive-sided Flycatcher calling out "Quick, three beers!" Right after the first call - if you have the volume turned up - you'll here the brief hum of a Black-chinned Hummingbird. Around 25 seconds and at 1:30 there are faint chirps from some American Robins; at 50 sec. and 1:15, Pygmy Nuthatches; at 2:20 the chirping is from some Violet-green Swallows. Throughout, though quite faint, a Western Wood-pewee buzzes in between the calls of the Olive-sided - it's a little louder after 1:40. (The file is just a little under 4 megs.)

Very cool! It is like you are actually there!!
I love starting the day just going out and listening to what "everybody" has to say. The Olive-sided Flycatcher and Western Wood-pewee were still at it today. And have been watching a pair of robins building a nest in a tree adjacent to my trailer.
