More bird guide apps available)

> Another point to note is that the India guide has no calls.

Thanks for the warning, much appreciated. Integrated sounds are one of the best aspects of iWhatever birding programs. While it won’t help out directly, there should be a decent set of freely downloadable recordings for the subcontinent here:

AVoCet (Avian Vocalizations Center) http://avocet.zoology.msu.edu/

It’s remarkable that this vast collection is available for download – unlike some of the other big archives, such as

Cornell Lab of Ornithology http://macaulaylibrary.org/

Boror Laboratory of Bioacoutics http://blb.biosci.ohio-state.edu/

British Library Sound & Moving Image Catalogue http://cadensa.bl.uk/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/x/0/49/%20;%20charset=UTF-8

If I remember rightly, the bulk of the AVoCet collection comes from recordings by Pamela Rasmussen. She’s a pretty fascinating figure in her own right and a major, major figure in the ornithology of the region.

A couple of other good sound collections:

Xeno-Canto is, of course, great. http://www.xeno-canto.org/

The Internet Bird Collection http://ibc.lynxeds.com/

Does anyone use other major archives that I’m missing? ===============================
