Show Notes

The Red-winged Blackbird is a well-known species found in marshes, fields, and even in backyards across North America. Hi! My name is Rob. I'm a naturalist and software engineer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For a decade I've been learning bird identification both by eye and ear, and occasionally leading small group birding outings with the Hamilton Naturalists' Club. In the last few years I've also been recording birdsong, both with my handheld setup (iPhone + mic) and with automated bioacoustic recording devices I've built or acquired. Last year I set up the Hamilton Bioacoustics Research Project where we've recorded thousands of hours of soundscapes in natural spaces throughout our region. We've also devised various methods for volunteers to turn the recordings into observational data. This was a stepping-stone towards the creation of the Songbirding podcast.
