Bird Song of the Day
Tropical Mockingbird (Mayan), Casa en Cuxtitali, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. “Some of the bird species that I think this individual might have been mimicking in this cut are: Great-tailed Grackle (00:25), parakeet sp. (02:51).” Lots of great ambient sounds too!

If you hate PayPal, you can email me at lambert [UNDERSCORE] strether [DOT] corrente [AT] yahoo [DOT] com, and I will give you directions on how to send a check. Thank you!
