The Maryland Nature Recordists was founded in 2006 by Greg Weddig, Rip Lyttle, Tony Celis and me. Other members include Richard Humphries and Ben Pagac. At the moment the group is on hiatus, but I will put our archive here as well as my own ongoing Maryland recordings.

says Rip:
"...it was recorded mp3 with an edirol r-1, sonic studios preamp and dsm microphones, august 21, 2006, 3am, patuxent river park, prince georges county, md...I believe it's screech [owl] but it might be long-eared or something else."
Danny Meltzer
Quasi Binaural
I took off from our campsite at Little Orleans at about 1am and marched in absolute darkness down the path adjacent to the C&O Canal. After about an hour of hoping I would come upon something interesting, I found some nice quiet and this lovely array of frogs calling back and forth. This is binaural so for full frog surround effect put some headphones on people! Thanks to Walter Knapp and Robin Carter for species ID [Rana clamitans].
Greg Weddig
ORTF
This is actually in Delaware, but still part of the ecosystems here in Maryland. It was recorded ORTF with Schoeps Subcardiod mics with a Grace Lunatec V3 into an HHB Portadisc.
