    Just getting started, need advice

    I'm not very familiar with the Olympus recorders, nor the LS-5, but it looks to be hard to find any for sale any longer. A comparable mic that is readily available would be the Zoom H1n, which is fantastic as long as you're not looking to capture super-quiet environments (e.g. remote areas with...

    Camera mounted Mic choices ?

    I don't have specific experience with any, but I'd be wary of handling noise. Any time you touch the camera, you're likely to hear it in the mic. Might be able to mitigate with a good shock/float mount and highly directional mic, but again, little to no experience in mounting to a camera hot...

    cornell merlin id

    BirdNET I'm not sure, you'd have to check with their project about contributing back. If you have clear recordings that Merlin couldn't identify at all, that also counts!

    New recorded-in-the-field Audiobook, "Songs & Sounds"

    Hi folks, if this is considered too self-promotey please take my apologies in advance.. on a quick glance looks like it's not unusual for an author/producer to post a thread here about their own work. I do a lot of audio recordings in the field, and a lot of it is narrated while I'm recording...

    cornell merlin id

    For what it's worth, if anyone has a recording from the Merlin app where they are certain the ID that Merlin is giving is incorrectly, there is a way you can help with improving the app. Upload the audio to an eBird list OR onto Macauley Library, and let myself or any other annotator for Merlin...

    My soundcloud, if you want to comment!

    Sounds great! The noise reduction is noticeable when volume is turned up, though isn't overwhelming to me.

    Need help to upgrade my recording game

    Better recording equipment is definitely the better way. I've recorded hundreds of hours with Zoom equipment, pretty much all stock mics, and they do have self-noise to them that begins to be noticeable once you start recording in quieter places away from anthropogenic noise. With less noise for...

    I've contacted them and it turns out to be an oversight, and should be fixed soon...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    Hmm I tried to order it but it wouldn't ship to my address in Canada. Might be US only?

    Hello from a bird podcaster/field recordist/nature guide in Canada

    I'm Rob, a naturalist and birder in southern Ontario. For about ten years now I've been guiding naturalist outings in southern Ontario, and on the board of the Hamilton Naturalists' Club. I in the past few years I've been doing a lot of field recordings (audio), and producing numerous podcasts...

    Birding Podcasts

    If I could humbly submit my own, if you're looking for a field-recorded birding podcast, look up "Songbirding" in your favourite podcast network or app. Well north of 100 episodes now, pretty much all recorded in the field, and lightly narrated live much like one might get from a birding guide...
