General Questions about birds

We have questions for LSE, Black Storks, but not for other birds. I hope that questions here will find answers.

So where can I ask a question about i.e. a specific bird song I heard and recorded? There are many people on these forums with a lot of knowledge of birds that do not have a nest camera. It would be great to have a thread for these kind of questions so there is a chance of getting these questions answered.Felis silvestris wrote:We have questions for LSE, Black Storks, but not for other birds.

Thank you Liz but I don't think someone with answers to my questions will go to the 'social corner' to see if there is someone who has a question that needs an 'expert answer'. I would think that a thread called 'Expert Aswers' would be perfect for that. But much to my surprise I am wrong.Liz01 wrote:Marfo here is a thread it is opened 2013!

@ Marfo although i am no expert, i become more and more curious to your questions.Marfo wrote:Thank you Liz but I don't think someone with answers to my questions will go to the 'social corner' to see if there is someone who has a question that needs an 'expert answer'.

The sound on that cam is very distorted. To me an important reason for not watching.Marfo wrote: Biker,
Well nothing special but now and then when I hear a bird singing and I ask what it was there is not always somebody around who knows. Then a few pages onwards the post is not read anymore. So it would be great if there is a thread where you can ask. I know I am not the only one.
How about this one:

Yes, you and Hagnat are right, the sound is lousy. But this is the only screen recording programme available for Mac I could find (until now). Hagnat's programme is not for Mac.Biker wrote:oh, i see, Marfo
I agree with Hagnat that your example is hard to solve (because of the soundquality)
Oeps! I missed thatBiker wrote:well, this thread "Expert Answers" fits for those kind of questions.
the second part of this topic is "what kind of bird is this".
that would be good too?
No, the original sound of the live Youtube stream was not that bad. It is the recorder. I have made other recordings of Pontu videos. Same thing. I think it has some sort of white noise suppression built in so the recorded sound (achtergrondruis) is suppressed until a louder sound is detected. Then it starts recording the sound including the white noise.Hagnat wrote:Marfo, the bad sound is not your fault or the fault of your recorder, but of the webcam.
Some cams are bad, probably caused by the use of 'ancient' or cheap equipment.
