Tree Ears Sound Recording Technique Explained

- Finding wildlife is no easy task, which is why in this video, I will introduce you to a sound recording technique that will help you identify wild animals in the area by recording their sounds. This is a less often used approach compared to using trail cameras, but with one huge advantage: it allows you to capture sounds coming from all directions and from further away, something that trail cameras struggle with.
Watch the video to learn all about the Tree Ears technique step-by-step.

Thanks for sharing Patrik! 😊 this is THE BEST tutorial on TH-cam!!
Oh waw, what a praise. Thank you! 😊
I saw my first trail cam a few weeks ago out in our local forest. I stopped, waved, smiled and did a little dance hoping the owner has a sense of humor. Thanks for sharing Patrik.
Hahaha that's amazing, what a great idea :D cheers, Patrik
This is super useful! The results in our wetland areas were super nice.
Thanks mate! Much appreciated 😊
Love the thumbnail
Thank you 😊
Great advice and an epic thumbnail! Well done! ❤
Thanks! Cheers, Patrik 😊
Thanks you for this interessant tutorial , i will be try it ,in france.
Good luck :)
Hey Patrick, great video on setting up. Yes it would be great to have a part two or three. I have wanted to record like this for a while. Greg
Thank you, that's great to hear. Oh nice, is your primary goal to record the ambience or to discover animals? Let me know if you have any questions regarding the gear or the process. I'd be happy to help.
Really interesting video and method to look for wildlife. Actually I've never thought about it before, even because the gear can be stolen. Furthermore I'm trying to learn animals "voices" in order to recognize them when I'm in the field. Anyway, great video, super useful. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the risk is higher with this setup compared to trail cameras. I always try to place it far away from the nearest road or path and camouflage it so it doesn't stand out, but it could still get stolen.
I am learning their voices as well, but unfortunately, I still don't recognise most of them. I should make a video with all the different recordings that I have and let others help me identify them.

@PatrikInNature it should be a great idea a video like that!!
Super video, še nekaj tehnikalij iz backstagea :) Da, vsekakor bi me zanimal še "postprocessing" ... če imaš za 3 dni posnetka, kako ga obdelaš? Porabiš še en teden, da celega preposlušaš in označiš in izrežeš zanimive segmente? Kako si potem gradiš katalog (kam shranjuješ, kakšne metapodatke daješ zraven in v kakšni obliki)?
Hvala :) Super, dober feedback. Bom planiral kot enega izmed prihodnjih videov. Za pregledat en dan posnetka porabim cca eno uro, ker uporabljam program, ki ti zvok vizualno prikaže tako, da vidiš, v katerih frekvencah se je kaj "dogajalo" in kako glasno je. S pomočjo tega ni težko preskočit tiste dele, kjer je samo tišina. Ko to pregledujem, sproti zapisujem v txt file čas, ob katerem se je zgodilo, kakšen zvok je bil oziroma katera žival ter kakšni pogoji so bili (tišina, letalo, hrup ceste, veter itd.).
Potem v fazi, ko te posnetke potrebujem za objavo, pa jih obrežem, naredim manjše korekcije in exportam.
Drugače pa super vprašanja, bojo v pomoč pri načrtovanju naslednjega videa.
Lepo bodi,
Patrik
@@PatrikInNature Za svoj kanal pridelam cca 5tb videov na sezono, tako da imam na polici lepo zložene usb diske po letnicah. To je moj domet fizičnega katalogiziranja ;) Pregledal sem že nekaj self-hosted opcij softvera za albume, pa mi nobena ni dovolj dojemljiva. Ti vidim da se bolj resno ukvarjaš s pridelovanjem posnetkov take vrste, da rabijo več kot en metapodatek za funkcionalno arhiviranje in me zato res zanima, kako imaš urejen katalog.
It that better than trailcam?
Well, it depends. It is certainly better for locating birds, as they rarely appear on trail cameras. Also, it gives you higher chances of identifying animals that are close but not directly in front of the trail camera. On the other hand, it is a more expensive setup, and it requires you to analyse the recordings.
Cheers,
Patrik
