Forwarding this to the wider birding audience in the area. We (BRP) have 30 of our newly developed Swift recorders (TARUs or terrestrial audio recording units) spread throughout SSW recording 24/7 as part of a long-term biodiversity measure. The avicaching will assist as ground truth as we develop detectors for species specific vocalizations, in addition to the noise analysis work we can do now, such as airport and route 13 noise patterns. BTW, the recording sites are marked, a requirement to ensure that no one was surreptitiously being recorded.
