    Best bird recorders for field recording

    Hi hurukuru, Well, as I'm very much a fan of the all-in-one, the Portacapture X6 was almost was my next choice. However, after spending the past decade-plus using handhelds (for their built-in mics) my curiosity to finally explore the use of XLR mics had reached its tipping point. I'd always...

    new tiny Zoom F3 recorder

    Slightly Off-Topic... Hi CMB, Thanks for providing those recording/exporting details and the comparison files (will come in handy as I explore my new F3!), especially the detail, "...and "forced export to mono" checked."...I hadn't noticed that export checkbox prior! D'oh! As...

    Best bird recorders for field recording

    Ahh, thanks for shaking my cobwebs loose, horukuru...a correction on my previous post, it was not a DR-07 but a DR22-WL that preceded the R-05 and DR-07X, and again, the R-05 produced the best (signal strength and clarity, to my ears and needs) audio of that "smallish handheld lot". Also...

    Interested in anything and everything I could possibly learn to help me interact with wild crows or ravens..

    Hi Faetura and welcome aboard (newcomer, here, too), I'm saddened to read about your loss. I can't speak to befriending corvids but they've always been a fascinating species to me since childhood (I did a report on them way back in 2nd or 3rd Grade! LOL). I do recommend catching the PBS Nature...

    Best bird recorders for field recording

    I picked up a Roland R-26 back in '11 and was quite pleased with the performance of both the built-in XY and stereo Omni mics when used as a handheld recorder, however, the plastic housing (and lack of any internal mic isolation) was very susceptible to handling noise and required diligent...

    Greetings from the Hudson Valley of New York...

    Hi KC, Thanks for the welcome! We'd considered joining the, er, "southward migration" on retiring but we decided we're too much in love with the changing seasons and NY winters with Bald Eagles on the Hudson River ice floes! I'm sure that coastal birding must be quite the rewarding adventure...
