Youth from the Diocese of Saginaw participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in Detroit, Jan. 14
I have photographed many kinds of birds in my 20-plus years as a
photojournalist, but capturing their songs was a whole new experience
for me.
As multimedia producers for www.nashuatelegraph.com, we often use
wireless microphones pinned to the lapel of our subject during an
interview. But how do I pin one on a woodpecker flying in and out of the
birdfeeders this week at the Audubon Center in Auburn? My first attempt
at capturing its conversation with the chickadees and a nuthatch
involved clipping the tiny microphone to the wire mesh on a sunflower
seed feeder. But would the birds peck at it, or leave a surprise for me
to clean off later? The birds didn't bother it, but the contraption
wasn't close enough to pick up their voices. That's so strange because I
could hear them clear across the field.
Next I tried setting the video camera without the radio microphone in a
snow bank below the feeders, not only to warm up inside the Audubon
Center, but to let the birds return without me standing as a predator to
them. That didn't work for sound either, as the microphone on the video
camera didn't pick up well.
So, after dusting the snow off the bottom of the camera (don't tell my
boss), I attached a shotgun mic to the video camera from my audio kit.
Now, it's not a 12-gauge, but it certainly can give me a lot of sound.
The long microphone picks up sound coming from a single direction.
That's how I captured the sounds of a large woodpecker hundreds of yards
away in a tree. He was now the bass, and the other birds were the
sopranos. But I still don't know what the screech was coming from a barn
in the neighbor's yard.
If you are interested in counting birds, there is a Great Backyard Bird
Count started today across the country. You can find out more
information at www.birdsource.org/gbbc. There are also more still
photographs of birds in a Mycapture gallery on our website, as well as
the Backyard birds video on the Audio/Video page.

A bicyclist rides by a lighted sign in the doorway of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium which is lit in red as part of nationwide campaign to bring attention to the shuttered live event venues in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. On Sept. 1, Another Planet Entertainment venues were lit in red from 9pm-12am PT as part of the nationwide campaign #WeMakeEvents #RedAlertRESTART and #ExtendPUA. It’s part of a major call to action imploring the US Congress to pass the RESTART Act (S.3814) as quickly as possible, offering economic relief to the Live Events Industry, which has been shuttered since March. The goal is to raise public awareness that the Live Events Industry is on RED ALERT for its very survival and create congressional pressure to act immediately.

I was in Jacksonville July 9-11 for Ancient City Con IV.
The Jacksonville Times-Union provided excellent coverage of the event. Check out the paper's article, photos, and video.
Thanks to some sloppy fisherman that don't pick up their line or hooks, they've probably killed this cormorant. He can't hunt because he is hooked in the mouth. He can't swim good because the line pulls him under water. I called animal control and waited an hour for them to arrive. They couldn't catch him. I sent an e mail to some wildlife rehabbers to see if they can help.
If you fish, PLEASE pick up your line and hooks!!
UPDATE: Went back today. Didn't see this hooked cormorant, but did see it's buddy I think. I have a feeling this one might have drowned. :( After the Animal Control officer tried to catch it, it flew to the middle of the lake. It at that time looked like the line had caught up on something and he had a hard time staying afloat. Maybe it tired and drowned. :*(
If it did, maybe that is better than suffering for days from not eating.
Wish I had better news.....
