       | This looks cool but also not useful for ornithological purposes,
       | right?

       | morning here for those interested https://www.mohiohio.com
       | Although it mostly recorded wind today. Scroll to get to another
       | day. RSS feed available.

         | Cool! Do you know the species singing fairly well, or do you
         | attempt any automated identification?

         | I've been dithering about getting a microphone that I could
         | attach to my Android phone to do better at capturing quiet
         | vocalisations (mainly thinking of that for use with Merlin. I
         | do know the species here fairly well but still not certain of
         | all vocalisations.)
         | 
         | I've been listening for a few minutes. Really beautiful. There
         | was an alarm call close to the mic that must have been a Turdus
         | thrush but other than that I have little idea what I'm
         | listening to! Guess: are drongos in there?

       | if you enjoy this, the Merlin bird app is pretty cool - it will
       | show a waterfall visualization so you can see the pitch changes.
       | it also can identify birds in real time.
