Jesse HammonsField Recordings at the Colorado River (April 10, 2003)

A recording of toads on a tributary of the Colorado River just below the Boulder Dam. I believe the species is Southwestern Toad (Bufo microscaphus).

Jesse, thanks for sharing this recording, it's lovely and was reminiscent of being at the lake on a warm August evening. I hadn't noticed that I had winamp set to mix and loop and ended up listening to the toads for quite some! I agree with the comment that an uncompressed format would be great for bioaccoustic analysis, but such recordings are not always possible.

Subject: Great recording
I gave it a 4 because you went from one lossy compression (minidisc) to another (mp3). It would be great to have these in an uncompressed format for bioacoustical analysis.

Thanks

Nice to see this here. I am inerested in hearing more. perhaps one with less toad? the toad call seems rather piercing. I'd like just some ambient 'nature' sounds, if you can swing it. thanks Jesse!

Jesse-- thank you for broadening the archive to include your ambient sounds. I hope that these are used in peoples movies and sound recordings.

The idea of Open Source Media is wonderful. Thank you!
