Marc Anderson, the winner of the Beautiful Now sound competition has a site called Nature Soundmap where you can listen to sounds from around the world.
Check out the other sections of the Beautiful Now site too. The food/drink section has some very nice things.

I listened to the lions and baboons on the savannah at night and wondered how anybody ever slept at all in that place! Then I found the bird songs--six recordings from Costa Rica alone--and a YT of 180 minutes of bird songs. I love the map linking; I guess I am just a sucker for a map.

Cool idea, and well executed - thanks for posting the link, unilateral!
I hope they are able to keep adding sounds, especially from regions that are not yet represented.

OH JESUS THEY'RE COMING FOR ME.

Is there a way for it to stream all of them, one after the other? I would love to leave this on in the background, enjoying it, and then suddenly go "Wait, WTF was THAT!?" and click over-- "Ooh, barred owl. Got it."
