The lake is fed from the Verde River, and now represents one of the finest wetlands in Central Arizona. The lake is owned by the Phelps-Dodge Mining Company, and was a recreational lake for the miners and employees of the copper smelter here in Clarkdale until the mines in Jerome, Arizona, closed in 1953. There is a reason I'm working there so much. You'll notice that many of my recordings were done at or near Peck's Lake, in Clarkdale, Arizona.

Remember, all sound clips are copyrighted to Doug Von Gausig and, 2001-present. More exacting sound enthusiasts are encouraged to contact me for larger, unedited and unfiltered versions of these sounds. A few samples have been reduced to 8-bit resolution and all have been "downsampled" from their original 44.1 Khz to save bandwidth and therefore reduce loading times. Many have been filtered in ways which do not affect the bird's song, but which may highlight the important parts of the sample. Most files are in Windows WAV or MP3 format, and all have been edited for file size and clarity. If you have a name for some bird's sound, share it with me - some day I'll write a bird call thesaurus! Flickers have a "Klear" call, Great Blue Herons "Gronk". I find myself making up onomatopoeic names like "Chack" and "Pipe" and "Chuckerring". You could fill volumes, write epic speeches and set up courses for online universities based on the sounds our amazing feathered friends make. Many species, at one time or another mutter and mumble and whisper. Some birds bark or croak or grunt or grumble. Some ducks quack, some whistle, some peep or screech. They chip and chirp and chack, and the cry and crow and caw. They sing, they talk, they whinny and squawk and squeak. One of my ongoing trials is what to call the sounds birds make. Individuals of a species sing different songs with different "words" and "phrases" than another individual, and the same species from different territories sing about different things in different ways. It has become even more obvious to me during this project that a bird's vocalizations can be nearly as complex in the information they contain as our own. Since most bird species use different vocalizations for different circumstances, I've tried to tell you what the bird was doing at the time of the recording. On these pages are the sounds of North American birds (Costa Rican birds have their own page, below) - not just bird calls or bird songs, but all the sounds birds make, such as wing sounds and bill rattles.
