Ornithology B/C

Based on previous posts, I would say that the type of guide you want depends on how you work organizationally. ( yes that's a word )

Does anyone know where I can get a practice test for this event?

[googlyfrog]

I'm not sure, but there should be some on soinc.org.

[sewforlife]

this event hasn't been an event in a long time so I think they are none on soinc
try google or scioly *ahem robotman!

After googling the internet for half an hour and finding nothing, I have come to the conclusion that we'll have to wait for someone to upload a test to the test exchange.

I was a bit concerned with learning the calls, because there doesn't seem to be a better method than just finding recordings of songs and listening to them and associating them with the bird they come from.

I'm going to put the calls onto my ipod, put them on shuffle, and try to identify them. Though they probably will make only a small portion of the competition, it is still important.

I can't seem to be able to download the songs. How did you get them onto your ipod?

I didn't download them; I couldn't find a site that had that as an option. What I did was I recorded them in Garageband (I have a mac), and then put them into iTunes. There's probably a better way, though.

do you know how to do something similar in windows?

[kjhsscioly]

i figured it out

you have to search the name of the bird on the web, along with the word mp3, which will usually give you a down loadable file. then, save the file if it is WAV or MP3, both of which itunes opens.

If it is not one of these formats, import to windows moviemaker, and add to your "project". Publish, which will convert the file to WMA, which itunes will open.

this is a good sit for bird call mp3s : JungleWalk.com
