Sounds of La Selva, Ecuador

John V. Moore

Vocalizations from 120 species of birds, 6 species of monkeys, many frogs & and one fish! Recorded in the lowland rainforests of Eastern Ecuador. Narrated.

I have tried to present these nature sounds in a way that I, as an amateur, would like to hear them. Therefore, the sounds are arranged as part of a hypothetical 2 1/2 day, 3 night stay at La Selva.

Cassette. First published 1993, 3rd edition 2004. Suggested retail price: $12.50
