Re: [nfc-l] How do we know NFCs?

2018-02-02 Thread Dominic Garcia-Hall 
Thanks for sharing the paper Jay. I have one of Bill’s mics so it was v
interesting reading that.
By way of comparison, I moved from the States to Europe last Fall, and have
been resuming my NFC recording on this side of the pond. We are certainly
still behind on NFC knowledge over here, and for a many species still in
the phase of comparing to diurnal calls (well, I am anyway). But it’s
changing fast and there is some interesting work being done -  in
particularly the UK based Sound Approach who are publishing a lot of stuff:
https://soundapproach.co.uk/category/night-flight-calls/
I also have been recording a bit when I go back to visit family in
Argentina. But this is ground zero. I can ID about 1% of a typical night’s
calls ;)  But it has given me a lot of respect for the folks who pioneered
this back in the day.

Cheers
Dom

 Imagine somebody trying to get into NFCs in an unexplored part of the

Thanks for sharing this Jay, that was a great read.

To me, an exciting current development is the application of modern machine
learning tools to get algorithms ("apps") for automatically classifying
NFCs. There is some great work on this from the BirdVox people at NYU +
Cornell; see: https://wp.nyu.edu/birdvox/

Hopefully the development and distribution of such software will encourage
more people to get into the NFCs business.

As a Californian I'm also interested in the current insights about the east
versus west difference in NFCs in the USA.

Thanks for sharing this Jay, that was a great read.

To me, an exciting current development is the application of modern machine
learning tools to get algorithms ("apps") for automatically classifying
NFCs. There is some great work on this from the BirdVox people at NYU +
Cornell; see: https://wp.nyu.edu/birdvox/

Hopefully the development and distribution of such software will encourage
more people to get into the NFCs business.

Re: [nfc-l] How do we know NFCs?

2018-01-31 Thread Wim van Dam 
Ted: what is the reference of the article you are referring to?

In the meantime I found this article, which addresses the question to
some extend:

"FLIGHT CALLS AND THEIR VALUE FOR FUTURE ORNITHOLOGICAL STUDIES AND
CONSERVATION RESEARCH", Andrew Farnsworth, The Auk 122(3):733-746.
2005

https://doi.org/10.1642/0004-8038(2005)122[0733:FCATVF]2.0.CO;2

RE: [nfc-l] How do we know NFCs?

2018-01-30 Thread Gary Allport 
Hi Wim

I am in an unexplored part of the world – Mozambique – doing NFC recording and 
indeed it is very hard.  Some birds do seem to make daytime type calls but I 
have dozens of calls which I just don’t have a clue.  I think most of them are 
herons, ibises and rallids – which have been on the move recently – but some I 
cant even place to family.  All the more difficult are the range of calls of 
bats, cats, dogs and the noises that seem to be man made to cloud the 
interpretations too.  I have shared a few calls but it is even harder for 
someone who doesn’t know the local avifauna to advise.  Something as simple as 
what would seem to be an obvious Moorhen could be Lesser Moorhen or indeed a 
bunch of little known other rallids.  Baiilon’s Crake has recently arrived in 
local wetlands in unprecedented numbers, for instance, a species that I would 
have previously excluded as almost impossible and makes a huge range of 
vocalisations (some that sound like a Moorhen!).

So it is tough and any guidance from the group would be most welcome.

Cheers

Gary Allport

Maputo, Mozambique
