This from the team at Xeno-canto (http://www.xeno-canto.org/), a collaborative website dedicated to sharing bird sounds from all over the world:

On the 30th of may 2005 Xeno-canto went on-line.

It was announced in an email to the NEOORN mailing list: "...  We hope that over time it will turn out to be a useful and enjoyable resource, and we also hope that it will generate a bit of honest web community effort. "

10 years later we can say that we certainly got what we were hoping for, and then some!

What an amazing adventure it has turned out to be so far: 2400 recordists worldwide, 240000 recordings, 9300+ species, 10000+ discussions on the forum ....

We want to thank you all for joining that adventure, and would like to renew that original call!
