Birds of Venezuela MP3 - CD Sound Collection

Peter Boesman

From the publisher, “This MP3-CD contains 1052 recordings in MP3 format of over 950 Venezuelan bird species. A total of about 8 hours of playing time !

Venezuela is the country where ‘the neotropical experience' started for the author Peter Boesman. After his first visit to study Venezuelan birds in 1988, he was so impressed that two years later he made it his home during seven years. After his return to Belgium, he continued recording bird vocalizations on every trip to the Neotropics.

In 1999 Peter published the CD-ROM 'Birds of Venezuela / Aves de Venezuela', a pioneering product at that time. From the feedback he received from many users, it was obvious that there was a need for something in the field. And now it is finally here: the MP3-CD.

Peter sincerely hopes it appeals to many people and will encourage them to study the wealth of birds in Venezuela!

Together with the MP3-CD you will get a handy 20-page booklet including a manual how to use the MP3-CD, a complete species list and information on date and locality for every recording. This information is also included on the CD in the form of a webpage (use Internet Explorer) from which any sound file can be clicked directly thanks to the embedded hyperlinks; for mac users a PDF file can be found on the disc.
