Yesterday, I was joined by six enthusiastic birders interested in learning more about sound recording. I really enjoyed everyone’s interest and questions about recording, processing, and equipment. I planned the workshop for 2 hours but we ended up going for three hours! We spent a little time outside collecting some recordings and found noticeable differences in the number of species detected by Merlin. Joe Gyekis had a good suggestion to try putting one’s phone or microphone in a trash can kid to amplify the sound.
Special thanks to Doug Wentzel and Joe Gyekis for their help in putting on the workshop. Hopefully we can offer the workshop again in the future.
