(Apologies for cross-posting.)

Alden Hart posted a link to a segment from Herzog's "Encounters at the 
End of the World" featuring astounding recordings of Antarctic Weddell 
seals made by Doug Quin, to the HacDC blabber list a couple of days ago 
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlrcbKlW4Tw).

I spoke with Doug today. He's on his way to New Caledonia for a month to 
do a biodiversity assay of songbirds. The team he'll be joining will be 
using a device and software from Wildlife Acoustics:

The Song Meter can record up to 40hrs onto flash cards, on a schedule, 
using 4 D-cells.

The Song Scope application (Windows/OSX/Linux) can tease out specific 
species' songs with 80% accuracy from field recordings.
