Fellow birders (which no doubt includes some who collect memorabilia )

     I had the incredible good fortune this past weekend to come across a
collection of vinyl records entitled "AMERICAN BIRD SONGS, Recorded by the
Albert R. Brand Bird Song Foundation, Lab of Ornithology, Cornell
University"  They are red vinyl, 10 inch, 78 RPM records and contain 72
recordings of American Birds.  I don't have anything that plays 78 RPM, but
they appear to be in fairly good shape.  As far as I can determine, they
were published around 1942.

     If anyone knows anything about this really early set of bird song
recordings, please let me know.  While this is clearly not a sighting,
others might be interested as well.  I found the album of records at an
antique shop in Shawnee.  No one will believe what I paid for them.
