The biggest day in birding, #GlobalBigDay, is one week away! Go #birding on May 13 & share what you find with eBird. By taking part, you’re also celebrating #WorldMigratoryBirdDay. Where will you be birding next Saturday? #birds #BirdTwitter bit.ly/40JVPL2

You can now identify 870 different bird species using Sound ID, with complete coverage for the US, Canada, and Europe. A whopping 1.5 million people around the world used #MerlinBirdID to identify 178 million birds by sound this year! #MerlinYearInReview

We’re looking back at 2022 and celebrating #MerlinBirdID ‘s biggest year yet! With 4.6 million people around the world using Merlin to identify birds, we have a lot of cool stats to share over the next few days! #MerlinYearInReview

Here’s a photo collage highlighting the diversity of pattern and coloration in the tails of adult Red-tailed Hawks. Photos by myself and Red-tailed Hawk Project collaborators Jesse Watson, @LHDeCicco, and @NeilPaprocki, all of which are stored in @MacaulayLibrary. @CornellBirds

To #BringBirdsBack, the 1st thing we need to know is how they're doing. New @Team_eBird Trends maps give a super close-up view of species increases/declines. A new milestone in avian research and conservation, and a free resource for all: science.ebird.org/en/status-…

In two weeks we’ll be leading a workshop on sound recording at the @sabirdfair in Cusco! Come learn from @JayMcGowan, @FabriGorleri, and other sound recordists how to record, edit, and upload audio that contribute to our understanding of birds and power tools like @MerlinBirdID – at Syracuse, NY
✅ Drew Weber, Gestor del proyecto para el desarrollo técnico en la Macaulay Library, así como de la aplicación móvil "Aves del Perú", dictará el Taller: "Grabación de sonidos de aves".

Bird Feeders--a restaurant for Accipiters with a lively and ever revolving cast of daily specials. What do Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks like to order? And do they order the same thing? @oisinmacaodha @Feederwatch @PFWCanada onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Here with another Thursday peek behind the scenes @MerlinBirdID Sound ID and its varied and exciting research potentials. @Grant_Van_Horn has been working on some fascinating per-species interactive embeddings of the feature vectors that come off the sound ID model.

Digging into our #BestOfMacaulay photos to highlight this gorgeous Eared Grebe, a small grebe that feeds on invertebrates in lakes worldwide, including Mono Lake, California, and the Great Salt Lake, Utah. More: allaboutbirds.org/news/macau…

Are there parallels in how birds, machines, and humans learn to recognize bird vocalizations? Maybe. Teaching @MerlinBirdID to recognize birds by their sounds has been challenging for a variety of reasons.

For the past 2 years, an elite squad of bird experts scoured @MacaulayLibrary, labeling all the birds singing in the recordings. Mix in a little AI magic, and the result…Sound ID!
Behind the scenes look at annotating data for Sound ID. This video shows @MacaulayLibrary's @matthewdmedler annotating an Elegant Trogon recording. He boxes the first 5 Trogon vocalizations, along with background species, and a section of audio with no bird vocalizations.

Digging into data analysis with @EliotITMiller and others at the @MacaulayLibrary using the Merlin Sound ID dataset. More to come!
