The ultimate listening experience begins here; see book text for details on how to listen to these several song selections. Briefly, three and a quarter hours from the same male are recorded in ♫411-417. In ♫#418 and ♫419, I provide the ten imitations of other species that I used to estimate this male's repertoire (about 1300 songs!).
