Coming soon! Birdsongs and the starling that stores dozens of high quality samples.

What a long and crazy month it's been going down the ornithology hole! Including but not limited to:- Setting up AI audio analyzers on Raspberry Pi devices to record bird sounds remotely and build an enormous database. (trying to sort out a build under $100 so you can do this too!) - Building a 384kHz remote microphone/recorder that records for weeks at a time tethered to a tree- Off-roading for days to try and find some unusual mockingbirds- Putting together a 192kHz / 32-bit ultrasonic microphone that can analyze bird songs and bats in a way that raises the accuracy and quality level of biological data collection- Capturing wild birds at 1000+FPS- Last but absolutely not least, traveling to KY to get high quality ultrasonic recordings of a starling that was raised by humans since just after birth and has almost entirely learned songs from fragments of human voices, outdoor noises, mobile phone sounds, movements, television, and so on. Not only does it give the Lyrebird a run for its money, but through ultrasonic analysis, for the first time ever, we'll be able to sort out exactly what's going on in the syrinx to synthesize these sounds. I'm finally putting over 2TB of video/audio/research data together for editing what was probably the most fun video research project I've ever done. I'll be posting the recordings here when the video is finished, and they'll likely be exclusive for a long period while they go through publishing review with Cornell and elsewhere. Once again, this project was 100% independent and funded by this community, and I couldn't be more grateful.
