the One-Year Project is done, readers; and S.E. is ‘treading water’ until surgery.
However . . . we have entered a ‘sweet spot’ in which, although the reports will be scrappy and local, this is the second time that we have been observing at this time of year.
Thus, we are seeing (and hearing) many things, in effect, for the first time.
When S.E. has recovered from surgery, I wish we could chip in to buy him one of these...!
This kind of microphone focuses on the individual sound and cuts away (most of) the extraneous sounds.
I think bird vocalizations are one of my favorite parts of bird behavior. Their hearing is so much better than ours and they hear so much more structure than we do.
This vid cracks me up
At normal speed it just sounds like a blur of tweety noises, but at 1/3 speed you can hear a lot more structure.
And this tiny bird created that song! WHAT is going on in their little birdie brains!!!
