So far the PUC is pretty impressive but…I don't understand why it doesn’t report some that Merlin gets. Audio sensitivity is high and I thought they all share the same reference files from Cornell so…it could be the configurable parameters. Customer support on the PUC is not what I hoped it would be. Just this morning I had four Turkeys gobbling loud enough to wake me up and the PUC captured nothing. Contrast that with single “pips” in the dead of night which it tags as some Warbler. I’m still learning it.

I purchased the Terra listens through kickstarter several years ago. It finally arrived this February. I must admit, I’ve been rather disappointed in its performance. I wonder how the PUC device compares. It looks far more advanced and substantial.

If anyone wants to “follow” my PUC, it’s number 13128. Conversely, if you have your own PUC, or have made your own unit (using the Raspberry Pi Microcontroller), I’d be interested in “following” you to see what kind of birds are being detected at your location. It’s very interesting technology and I’m still exploring the features and tools available. Thanks to Allen Chartier years ago for challenging my “Eastern Bluebird” audio observation and steering me in the direction of “Birding by Ear”! Also…is Laurent Fournier still in this group?
