Motus Audio Day 18 BONUS: Kent Island, NB. Our Kent Island team launched a Motus Audio recorder at Bowdoin Scientific Station in the Bay of Fundy. It promptly recorded a Savannah Sparrow and a Leach's Storm-Petrel. @birdscanada.bsky.social @sdobney.bsky.social @jeff-dutter.bsky.social

Sunshine or fog, you'll find Sarah, Maia, and Jeff recording Savannah Sparrows on Kent Island in the Bay of Fundy. This spring we're using field-portable sound level meters to study vocal amplitude in Savannah Sparrow song. @sdobney.bsky.social @biolumijeffence.bsky.social @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social

The launch of our first Song Meter of the 2026 field season! For the next 4 months we'll record Savannah Sparrows and Leach's Storm-Petrels in our collaborative studies of the birds on Kent Island. 🎤🐦‍⬛👍 @wildlifeacoustics.com @ingridpollet.bsky.social @sdobney.bsky.social @jeff-dutter.bsky.social

Arriving this morning at the Bowdoin Scientific Station on Kent Island, New Brunswick, it is our 14th year studying wild Savannah Sparrows in the Bay of Fundy. Sarah, Maia, & Jeff will be studying sparrow song all spring. 📷: S. Dobney @sdobney.bsky.social @jeff-dutter.bsky.social

Thanks to Birds Canada for their collaboration during our launch of Motus Audio recorders across Canada. Sarah, Natalie, Nelsy, Madison, and Jeff enjoyed a visit the Birds Canada headquarters in southern Ontario this week. [📷 J. Sayers] @birdscanada.bsky.social @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social

Thank you to a homeowner who kindly agreed to host a Motus Audio recorder in southern Ontario. This recorder is now sampling the flight calls of migratory birds passing overhead as part of the Motus Audio network, so we can better understand bird migration: motus-audio.web.app

Jeff Dutter is a bioacoustics intern, joining our lab as part of the Master's of Bioacoustics (MoBi) program at U. Saint-Etienne. Today we had phase 2 of testing our Motus Audio microphone horns in our campus studio. Great work Jeff! #NocMig @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

We're testing out our latest prototypes of Motus Audio recorders in a campus recording studio. Led by visiting research student Jeff Dutter, with support from Natalie, Nelsy, and Madison. What effects do different plastic wraps have on our #nocmig recordings? Stay tuned to find out.

Our team launched a Motus Audio flight call recorder at Long Point Bird Observatory. Natalie & Madison added a recorder to the Old Cut Motus Tower, with help from Nelsy Sarah & Jeff, and in collaboration w/ Birds Canada. 🎤🎶🐦👍 #nocmig #bioacosutics @birdscanada.bsky.social @ibiouwindsor.bsky.social
