Best worldwide bird-song site ever!

I found it while searching for recordings of Amazonian birdsongs. You can search for any species, and chances are, someone somewhere in the world has uploaded a recording of its call:

And if you've captured any great audio recordings of a bird call, the site encourages you to add it to their collection.

I've added some US recordings of my own.

The site started with South American birds, and now has expanded worldwide. They have many recordings from South American.

Here's another site, which is dominated by US bird song: http://macaulaylibrary.org/
