    Songbird Call - Tampa, FL, USA

    Hello! I have attached two recordings of a bird call I heard the other day in Tampa, Florida. It is not a call I've heard before and both Merlin and BirdNET cannot appear to ID it. I have attached the original recording as well as an edited "Boosted" version. I did not get a visual on the...

    Live indoor-outdoor sound feed - shotgun mic + speaker combo?

    Good morning Bird Forum, greetings from Colchester (UK). My family and I really enjoy listening to the birdsong in our garden, but often it is too cold to leave the windows open to get the full effect. I am planning to rig up a microphone on the exterior wall and then run an audio wire through...
  4. Eurasian Oystercatchers Piping Display

    Eurasian Oystercatchers Piping Display

    In April 2022 I have often seen groups of Eurasian Oystercatchers on the North Frisian Island Amrum with a behavior as if they were "arguing". After some research, it seems like this is called piping display or piping ceremony. I have also read on German sites that this behavior is some communal...

    Satin Bowerbird

    In December 2014, I discovered this bower when a female was on a visit of his bower with her wings flapping fast in front of it. It was the flapping sound of her wings which I heard and it caught my attention. I was not sure what I was about to discover when I heard that sound. This was really...

    Call of the Eurasian Hoopoe

    My first Hoopoe in the Kaiserstuhl area in Germany. You can hear them regularly in that area, and you even can see the Hoopoe in the distance. It was a long walk in the Kaiserstuhl area and almost without luck, until, finally one sat down on a post close to us calling. We were so lucky.

    Low pitch tremulous hooting - Mendips UK
