I'm looking for all sorts of samples from nature, especially sounds of birds, animals, but also water, wind, etc.

Any reccomendations, commercial or free?

DELUDE,
have a look at http://www.sonomic.com
The samples are not for free, but the selection it's huge and you can download single files.

It may no be so simple to do this. I live in a smallish city in British Columbia, and even driving to a fairly deserted area, there was constant highway noise in the background. I would have to plan a major camping trip to record ambient natural sound, birds, water, and rain.

Filtering out the highway sound frequencies does not help, as the bandwidth is shared by just those natural sounds that I want.

Car noise has pretty much put an end to my ambient recording adventures. I traded my minidisc recorder away because of this.

Anyone have a similar, or the opposite, experience?

I just bought one of these last week. It works pretty well. I took it and my kid to the zoo and collected everything from ambient noises to a lion roaring. Lots of fun. The only drawback is the stingy 64 MB card that comes with it. That'll only get you around three minutes of sampling time at 24/44.1. A gig card will get you a full hour. Not bad.

Just a thought, if you took a noise profile of the highway in Adobe Audition, and used it to remove just that noise, would it maybe possible to get ok results, or the same softwares spectrum view, could help you remove precise the frequensies in question.

Samples from nature?
