Extending the Scope and Improving the Accuracy of Migratory Bird Monitoring with Automated Acoustic Techniques

Abstract

New passive acoustic monitoring technologies can relax or eliminate the need for site access by field biologists. Extended spatial and temporal scale of these techniques enables monitoring or rare or otherwise cryptic species. Can document species-specific stopover use on and around DoD installations. Accuracy of population estimates can be improved by reducing sources of variance and bias that limit inferences from existing long-term data sets.
