And then I hit the woods and realized trying to identify a single bird amidst all the different calls and songs and cries was like standing on the corner of State Street in Chicago at rush hour trying to identify the make of a car by the sound of its horn amidst all the other horns and traffic noises. In a word, for me, hopeless. And so frustrating.
In combination with my field guides, Merlin, eBird and other resources, my walks in the woods have become more and more like visiting friends I know by the sound of their voices. I can name most of the standard backyard birds in my Maryland neighborhood (cardinals, robins, juncos, hawks, blue jays), but the most rewarding thing for me is that I can now pick out new-to-me songs and calls among the chatter, and practice learning them.

I thought Merlin might be wrong (it happens), but then I went over to a tree full of European starlings (also identified by Merlin) and there they were: About seven cedar wax wings darting among the branches.
Bird Academy has developed a unique approach to teach you how to listen to bird songs in their natural soundscapes. Watch the video below to see it in action: Photo: Ryan Schain/Macaulay Library, Kevin J. McGowan, Isaac Sanchez/CC BY 2.0. Audio: Gregory F Budney/Macaulay Library
Yes. This course is designed to work with a screen reader and be accessible for those learning entirely by ear. While there are elements of the course that use visualizations to enhance the learning experience, they are a supplement, not a requirement.
This course is focused on helping you develop listening techniques so that you can go beyond the course material to learn the birds in your area. It also includes information about how to use the Merlin App to help you identify bird sounds in real time so that you can build up your local knowledge quickly.
Explore a serene soundscape from the mountains of California and then go deeper to learn which bird voices are joining the dawn chorus. Plus get expert listening tips for training your ear to notice the subtle bird sounds mixed in among the more obvious ones.
We've got our feathered friends to thank for the beautiful soundtracks of our parks and gardens. Learn to tell apart some of the most common and distinct UK bird song with our easy guide. Birds use song during mating season to attract mates as well as using it as a tool to defend their territories. Take a listen to some of the most familiar songs below.
An early riser, with a clear and confident voice. The beautiful song is low-pitched and given in short, fluty verses that seem to stop abruptly. Unlike the song thrush, blackbirds don't repeat their verses. Take a listen...
Mistle thrushes begin to sing in winter, often from the top of a tall tree. The song is similar to a blackbird's, but rather than ending abruptly the mistle thrush trails off almost absentmindedly. Take a listen...
Like the larger thrushes, robins start singing early in the morning. The song is clear and beautiful, comprised of rippling notes and whistles. Robins are one of the few birds to sing all through winter. Take a listen...
The dunnock is a slightly understated bird, but it has a beautiful song. It's a sweet, high-pitched twiddling melody given in short verses. Dunnocks like to sing from posts or other prominent perches. Take a listen...
This skulking warbler is more easily heard than it is seen. Its song is very similar to a blackcap's, but it tends to sing in longer verses. Its chattering warble flows up and down like a babbling brook, without reaching the clear, flute-like finale of a blackcap. Take a listen...
Greenfinches have two parts to their song, with a nasal wheeze and a beautiful twittering, liquid trill. Males will sometimes sing in the air, flickering around in circles with a very bat-like flight. Take a listen...
For such a small bird, wrens have an incredibly loud song. It's a high-pitched series of whistles with a rolling rattle towards the end. The sound often seems to burst out of the undergrowth. Take a listen...
In 2005 Lee was in his mid-twenties when he founded The Nest Collective, at the time a small gathering of somewhat lost yet like-minded souls eager to reconnect with nature and the world through the discovery and revival of traditional folk songs and music. Eighteen years on the Collective is stronger than ever, hosting award-winning events throughout much of the year in London, UK and the surrounding counties.
It is the lived experience of folk music that underpins everything Lee does and is how he came to know the world of birds and the human adoration that folk songs and stories express towards and about them. But first, there was fire.
It is thought now only 6,000 or so breeding pairs return to the southeast of Britain from their wintering grounds in Africa, to host their nightly mating concerts. Lee walks me through a typical night, and as he talks, I yearn to be there.
Lee explains the myriad of events that have led to the current situation of so much habitat loss for the nightingale, and for hundreds of other species across the UK, not to mention those same mechanisms in play for thousands of others across the world, all finding their own realms ever shrinking.
The Enclosure Act and the separation of people from the commons is one of the most tragic moments in British history, and that increase in power through church and state was one of the biggest traumas that we are still living the experiences of. But actually the decline in nature came through a much later change in the system through intensive agriculture. We have to look at the raw facts of where bird populations have declined: through pesticide use, through ballooning deer populations, as well as all the consequences of a capitalist extractive empire. Supermarkets and the food systems we are now subjected to have devalued the need of care and good stewardship in our land at the expense of profit. The profit margins that you're seeing in these massive industries are correlated hugely to species decline and loss of biomass.
Lee urges us to understand that birds as muse is one way to save them, along with many other lifestyle decisions of course. But to rewild that notion back into our collective consciousness, to grasp what so many centuries of humans knew before us, you have to contribute towards it. Humanity is the only species on earth that does not involuntarily make a contribution towards a natural balance, and this must be acknowledged.
You can find Sam Lee on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, plus there is a wealth of resources about all the work he does on his own website where you can listen to many recordings of the bird music work he does, plus documentaries he has made about folk song and folklore. You can also stream his nightingale music on Spotify and Soundcloud.
I enjoyed these so very much. Please continue and post the photo and songs for the rest of your poems. They were delightful. And besides that, it was a great connection between Who is singing What in our backyards. Thanks so much for your work.
Wonderful collection Lang. Having grandchildren and volunteering with youngsters in the field, I am always looking for creative ways to remember things seen and heard in nature. Thank you for sharing.
Those poems are delightful, especially with the added bird songs. It will help even an old birder remember the sounds. It would be wonderful to have this available on your Web store too. I do so enjoy your Web posts/newsletter.
Fabulous idea. This really helps me with bird voice recognition! Kids would love it. And then you could play back the songs for a recognition game! As well, bird photos with sound, a bingo sort of game. And on and on. What a worthy thing to do- to widen the appreciation of these wonderful birds.
The live stream demo processes a live audio stream from a microphone outside the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, located in the Sapsucker Woods sanctuary in Ithaca, New York. This demo features an artificial neural network trained on the 180 most common species of the Sapsucker Woods area. Our system splits the audio stream into segments, converts those segments into spectrograms (visual representations of the audio signal) and passes the spectrograms through a convolutional neural network, all in near-real-time. The web page accumulates the species probabilities of the last five seconds into one prediction. If the probability for one species reaches 15% or higher, you can see a marker indicating an estimated position of the corresponding sound in the scrolling spectrogram of the live stream. This demo is intended for large screens.
Reliable identification of bird species in recorded audio files would be a transformative tool for researchers, conservation biologists, and birders. This demo provides a web interface for the upload and analysis of audio recordings. Based on an artificial neural network featuring almost 1,000 of the most common species of North America and Europe, this demo shows the most probable species for every second of the recording. Please note: We need to transfer the audio recordings to our servers in order to process the files. This demo is intended for large screens.
This app lets you record a file using the internal microphone of your Android or iOS device and an artificial neural network will tell you the most probable bird species present in your recording. We use the native sound recording feature of smartphones and tablets as well as the GPS-service to make predictions based on location and date. Give it a try! Please note: We need to transfer the audio recordings to our servers in order to process the files. Recording quality may vary depending on your device. External microphones will probably increase the recording quality.
Note: If you encounter any instabilities or have any question regarding the functionality, please let us know. We will add new features in the near future, you will receive all updates automatically. 152ee80cbc
