Alfred Station, NY warbler & sparrow nocturnal flight call data - Fall 2011
Acoustic monitoring this season is being conducted with an Old Bird 21c microphone & preamp (picture).
The data below indicate tentative species classifications of nocturnal flight calls detected with Tseep-r software during the indicated time periods. Numerical values in the table indicate the number of calls detected -- numbers within parentheses indicate the number of call instances for a species that are separated by at least a minute from another call of that species.
AMRE = American Redstart BAWW = Black-and-white Warbler CAWA = Canada Warbler COYE = Common Yellowthroat CSWA = Chestnut-sided Warbler HOWA = Hooded Warbler GHSP = Grasshopper Sparrow NWTH = Northern Waterthrush OVEN = Ovenbird PAWA = Parula Warbler SVSP = Savannah Sparrow WIWA = Wilson's Warbler WTSP = White-throated Sparrow.

Total calls = total of all warbler and sparrow class flight calls detected by Tseep-r for the indicated time period. It includes both calls classified to species and calls not yet classified. Clicking the link initiates downloading a zip file of all detected calls. These files can be easily browsed with Old Bird's GlassOFire spectrogram viewer or with Cornell's commercially available Raven software. The "other" folder within each zip file contains calls that have not yet been classified to species.
Bill Evans is the editor of these data and performed the initial species classification. Changes to the initial classification are ongoing and will be noted in a Readme text file associated with each nightly archive. Feedback on species IDs is welcome and, if it leads to a change in the archive, contributors will be acknowledged in the updated Readme file. In all cases, calls within a species folder should only be considered candidates for that species based on best available evidence.
