#bioacoustics Our lab is hiring a post-doc to work on bioacoustics research in the Hoosier National Forest! 🔊https://www.peaselab.com/current-openings

🔊 Sound on Fieldwork still matters in the age of AI. A short field report from our project with Kowen Antami in Yanachaga Chemillén, Peru. 👇

1/ A new study from @lesserspotnet.bsky.social & BTO in @britishbirds.bsky.social looks at how passive acoustic monitoring is an effective way of surveying Lesser Spotted Woodpecker ➡️ www.bto.org/LSWBioacoust... #bioacoustics #ornithology @simongillings.bsky.social @hosbirding.bsky.social

I've been hired by @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social as an illustrator through the Bartels program and I couldn't be more excited to start! This has been a dream of mine for years. My Turkey vulture has been finished for a while so I am finally sharing that too! 🐡🪶🎨 #BirdArt

our paper on how light pollution affects bird vocal behavior is out today in Science!! w/ @brentpease.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am making a Starter Pack for people who are looking for PHD STUDENT POSITIONS in the biological sciences! If you wish to be added, please respond directly to this post saying you want to be added. I need at least 5 people to create the pack. Please share widely!

Since the start of 2024, I have managed to photograph 8 of the 9 nightjar species that regularly occur in the USA. 🪶 Here is my 1st ever photo of an Eastern Whip-poor-will that was found day-roosting at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area this past May. #birds #birding #nature #photography #BirdsSeenIn2025

I've been looking for a Least Bittern for months, and last weekend I was treated to see one flying around. Last year I saw one for the first time that year on July 5th. This year, it was again July 5th for my first Least Bittern of the year. It's a lucky Least Bittern day 🍀

Re-upping this: If you are an ornithologist (ideally U.S.-based) who uses bird banding or BBS data in your work, I'd love to hear from you! You could comment as something like "a scientist from a state university" (for example) if you don't want to use your name.

You mean I’m supposed to work when there are birds out there who aren’t being watched?

We've been putting in the miles this week getting our #bioacoustic recorders out!

Tree swallow, Yellowwood State Forest, IN 🪶

New paper! We developed HawkEars, a CNN training framework and classifier for a regional community of acoustic animals - 328 bird species and 13 amphibian species in Canada. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #bioacoustics 1/n

I ran into a pair of blue-gray gnatcatchers that seemed even angrier than usual. Made sense when I spotted their nest well hidden above me! 🪶

🪶 Even Prothonotary Warblers have bad angles •^•

🔊After years of Kevin Darras's et al's hard work, we are very happy to have this one out: Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Some highlights from this week in the central hardwoods of Indiana - the summer field season has started, and I am so excited to be back!

Bird #bioacoustics folks: @kitzeslab.bsky.social is hosting a hands-on "Advanced topics in bioacoustic monitoring" workshop at AOS 2025! We'll make custom sound ID models, estimate birds' positions using acoustic localization, and discuss how to use sound ID results to make ecological insights.

Had my first #SkypeaScientist session today - 10/10, 1st graders are the best, and I wish more academics asked questions like "What is the slowest bird" and "Can you become friends with backyard birds"

May your #caturday be as relaxing as Goose's

Not a nightjar but they sure look like one! Very cool bird

Whip-poor-will’s Dinner washi tape!

Tis the season to take a good look at the White-throated Sparrows in your yard and appreciate how cool their breeding system (four functional sexes instead of two) is: www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-ba...

BirdNET embeddings can identify new sound classes beyond its training set, aiding invasive species monitoring, biodiversity surveys, and detecting threatened species across vertebrate groups while requiring minimal call examples and manual validation. Find out more: doi.org/10.3389/fevo... 🔈🪶🦊🐸🦎🧪🌎

How different birds would act on a first date...a thread. (From us to you this #ValentinesDay) 💕👇

#Scicomm friends, what are your best tips for giving a talk to the general public? I'll be giving my first big talk that's not for a conference next month and am excited + terrified! The audience is a local naturalist group and I'll be covering nightjar ecology/ongoing research in our lab

Cotton mouth for #snakesunday. I am very fortunate to live close to the Shawnee National Forest, where there is a major snake migration site every fall and spring (aptly named Snake Rd!)

Ever get in way over your head with an illustration? Cuz I am with this turkey vulture on a very large piece of watercolor paper 😅 Work in progress! Note to self: buy smaller pieces of paper. #sciart #watercolor #birdart #birds #animalart #wip

I am sick of winter but never sick of round birds 🪶

Without downloading any new pictures where are you at mentally

When it rains heavy the young King penguins look so miserable...

No one asked, but the current record in my data for number of times a single Eastern Whip-poor-will said "whip-poor-will!" is 1,173 times in an hour. I am tired just thinking of talking for that long

I'll add, for anyone (like me) with social anxiety, esp. around the phone: they don't argue with you! They listen and record your comment. If they agree they will probably reassure you! If they don't, they just log you and you hang up. That's it. We can do this. ❤️👊
