Inspired by favorite envirnoments. My favorites list is just gonna be the ones in the US and near my home in the Shawnee National Forest. It's hard to nail down a single favorite so heres a top ten or so. Whip-Poor-wills, I love those guys and that lonely cry. Hoot Owls/Screech Owls, creepy lonely. Bob Whites/Quails just fun to hear these guys, Green Heron, primitive sound, Jurasic Park kinda call, Mourning Doves, soft melancoly soothing, and the Mocking Bird who does cover for everybody (everybirdy) else. There are more but its late and my brain is toasted...any nature freaks in the group here
Nothing Beats The Warble Of The Australian Magpie, Lived Here All My Life, And The Maggies Are Some Of The Best "Bird Friends" You Can Have.... I Have Been Told The Nickname Back In The 1920---1930's For Where I Live Was "Magpie Hill". God Knows What It Has Cost Me Over The Years To Feed Them, But I Can't Think Of A Better Start To A Winters Day At 7.00am Than Bare Feet In The Frost, And Magpies Calling Ther'e Family To Have Breakfast With Me...:2thumbsup:. Cheers Glen.
The songs of the european blackbird ... recorded them these days and maybe find a way to post it here. The heart touching melodies of the wood thrush in NY. Love them !
The Blackbird population round here seems to have exploded over the last 5 years or so, they seem to be everywhere. We had one that was so loud I swore he must have an amplifier stashed away somewhere. I recorded him and incorporated him into a piece of music - http://soundcloud.com/user3554704/frankenstein-sound-lab-station#play Blackbird comes in around the 3 minute 15 second mark... .

Every time I hear a Dove--I immediately regress to my childhood to the simple times I spent in the city park across from my house in which I spent my young years. I can almost smell the wet summer grass and see my buddy Richard. One pleasant evening after I smoked a little and was sitting quietly, a bird made a certain call. Then a second call,followed by the first call. Then a third call followed by the second and then the first call. The little bugger kept adding calls one after another and repeated them in order ,until it seemed there were 10 or more. It was facinating and very melodious and I never saw the bird. I'm thinking it must have been a Magpie. One landed on a roof where I was working one time and I put my hatchet down and sat there as he serenaded me for 3 or 4 minutes. He was quite close. Think he was a Magpie also.

There is a rather rare bird here in our part of the world. We have the Mileormore bird, an elusive bird sheldom seen but often heard. During its mating season it buries its head in the sand, whistles out it's ass and you can hear it for a mile or more...lovely creatures really.
