The latest on Wing Beat: "Humans outperform Merlin Sound ID in field-based point-count surveys" by Brooke Goodman Related paper: doi.org/10.1093/ornith… Blog post: americanornithology.org/humans-outperf… #ornithology #pointcountsurvey #soundID #birdsong

We've made lots of friends on Blu*sky in the past 2 days, incl @DMennill @MathevonNicolas @xenocanto Added them to our starter pack with folx like @TessaRhinehart @BerthetMelissa @matspike @BorneanGibbons @pantamallion @MasYoungblood We'd love to add you, please RT! 🧵1/4

Come for the stuffed animals, stay for the @MerlinBirdID demonstration. We had a great time sharing our research at the @TreePgh Tree Adoption Event in Hazelwood yesterday!

We take Halloween extremely seriously here at the Kitzes lab. + when you’re dead but you still have to respond to reviewer comments…

This workshop is in-person at the University of Delaware with no remote option, unfortunately!

JOIN US! On Nov 8th the Kitzes lab will be hosting a ✨free✨ large-scale bioacoustic monitoring workshop at the University of Delaware. People from all professional stages and backgrounds are welcome! Register at bit.ly/acoustic-works…

That’s a wrap on the 2024 ABC Global Climate Center annual all-hands meeting in beautiful Montréal. Thank you to @milaquebec and @espacepourlavie for being such amazing hosts.

Shoutout to @TessaRhinehart for her incredible talk on 'Territory mapping & behavioral monitoring with automated acoustic localization' at the #AOS2024! 🎤🙌

Hey #AOS2024! If you're a #bioacoustics or acoustic monitoring fan, come join our informal Bioacoustics Meetup on Friday 10/4 at 5:15PM in the Assembly Hall Lobby. Hope to see you there! 🦉🎶
