Listen with Terra

Alien bird sounds 👽? Yep, totally a thing! In this video, Scott Whittle shows you HOW to listen to birdsong so you can easily learn to identify birds by ear, with lots of practical examples — and some impressive imitations 😉 — from the field in Ohio. youtu.be/vd8nJoz6Wiw

The @biggestweek is amazing as always, with a good variety of warblers and other birds (and some non-avian surprises) arriving at the Lake Erie shores. Here are some of our favorites from the past couple of days! terralistens.com

Join Scott Whittle at the @BiggestWeek today, Sunday, May 7th, at 4 PM in Maumee Bay Lodge for a captivating talk about the history and future of wildlife tracking, and learn how the birding community — that's you! — can take the lead in wildlife conservation.

It's happening! We're at the Biggest Week in American Birding, and spring migration is off to a good start! If you want to catch up with Terra, make sure to tune in to Scott Whittle's keynote on Sunday, May 7th at Maumee Bay Lodge, Oregon, Ohio! @BiggestWeek

Sound on! Join the fun and start exploring the fascinating world of nature sounds today! Can you guess which of the four pictured animals is making the sound you hear? Stay tuned for the answer!

Today we take it for granted that birds migrate. But for most of history, migration was a largely unsolvable mystery, with dozens of theories that ranged from the likely to the preposterous! Read the full story in the Terra blog at terralistens.com/blogs/bird-mig…

We're excited to announce that Terra co-founder Scott Whittle will give the keynote "Powering Up Conservation: How birders and technology will save our wildlife" at The Biggest Week in American Birding on Sunday, May 7th, 4pm in Maumee Bay Lodge, Oregon, OH. #biggestweek #bwiab

With the Terra housing ready, we’re implementing wind noise reduction. We’re using this 3D spacer mesh, which is a fabric woven in three dimensions that allows sound to pass through, but not wind — NASA uses this too 🚀🛰 Visit terralistens.com to get your Terra!

We're currently testing these two sensors: a soil sensor to measure moisture, pH, sunlight, and temperature, and a temperature and humidity sensor. Both will connect to your Terra app via Bluetooth, so you can get the latest on your yard in real time! terralistens.com

Places like the Arctic Circle pose challenges to researchers that can be near impossible to overcome. Which brings us to the next modern-day mystery: The Case of the Missing Spectacles. Read the full story on terralistens.com/blogs/bird-mig…

Terra app update! We recently concluded app beta testing, and lots of helpful suggestions were incorporated in the final app design. Now, development is beginning, and we’ll have an MVP (minimum viable product) by ship date, adding more features in the months following.

Sandhill Cranes' bugling songs, rattling calls, and other vocalizations form a complex language used by the cranes to communicate with each other and navigate their world. Check out this video to learn more about these awesome birds: terralistens.com/blogs/favorite…

Friday fun (bird) fact 🦅🥸: Do you know what the earliest-known bird is? You got it! It's this amazing creature: Archaeopteryx, 150 million years old and considered to be the link between dinosaurs and birds! terralistens.com/blogs/fun-bird… #birds #dinosaurs #listenwithterra

The PCBs (printed circuit boards) really are the heart of Terra – they contain all the parts we need to make Terra work. We have a design and are ordering parts, and thanks to CTT’s new assembly machinery, we’ll be able to put them together onsite! terralistens.com

Scott Whittle guides you through the basics of listening to birds, using magic words to unlock their secret meanings, and using the power of pictures to lock them into your memory forever. youtu.be/dXNHluMv9UQ via @YouTube #listenwithterra #birdsound #birdidentification

We never expected to be looking at fake fur for Terra, but it’s actually a great way to suppress wind sound! The little fibers in the fur break up the wind, so Terra will get a much cleaner audio stream and yield better IDs and a better listening experience. #terralistens
