Relevant to the interesting thread we had going a while back on automatic
logging of the presence of birds, including identifying their species,
from sound recordings: see the NY Times Science Page for today, Oct. 3,
for a good article about Bill Evans' work at Cornell on tracking the
nocturnal passage of migrants over NY State. A slightly unfortunate photo
has him squatting in a field with his apparatus, looking like ET trying to
phone home, but the graphs resulting from his 3,500 hours of recorded
flight calls from 7 sites are fascinating. I'd love to see what similar
results for Washington would look like.
