    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.

    Low pitch tremulous hooting - Mendips UK

    I recorded this at 8pm yesterday, and have done my best to enhance the desired call. Turn the volume all the way up, and listen for the low pitch tremulous hooting, I was truly stumped at what it could be. It's worth noting that Nightjars and Tawny Owls were singing later in the evening. The...

    Alarm Call: European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)

    Hi all. I managed to film some birds with their alarm calls. I think this is the high pitched alarm call which also some other species are making. In this case it is the hight pitched alarm call of a robin (please correct me when I am wrong):
