Here are some items related to my research in the Neotropics:

Sound recordings:

I have been recording bird vocalizations for almost twenty years, with material from North America, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and Europe. Most of these have been deposited in the sound collections at Cornell’s Macauley Library and the LSU Museum of Natural Science sound lab. If you are interested in using recording materials, contact me.

Below is a recording that is of particular interest to others visiting San Martin, Peru. Please note that this recording is for field and personal use only. Contact me if you wish to use it in a publication.

• Recording of Xenoglaux loweryi (Long-whiskered Owlet)[MP3 created on iTunes for Mac]©D. F. Lane. Several people have reported problems opening this file from some computers. If this is the case, try saving the file to your hard drive and opening it using sound software that can read mp3 files. If you do not already have a sound program that can open mp3 files, SoundApps is free audio shareware that can be downloaded to PC or Mac.

Photos:

I also take a fair number of photos while in the field. I haven’t got many of these on-line, but I do keep them in a somewhat organized slide and digital photo library of bird, habitat, and people shots. Contact me if you think I have something that may be of use to you.
