LRGV Nocturnal Bird Migration Study
Weekly Black-and-white Warbler (BAWW) night flight call activity automatically detected by Nighthawk 0.3.0 software operating 8 hours per night (9p-5a CDT, GMT -5) at three stations in the LRGV acoustic monitoring transect. See table below for contributions from individual stations (Roma HS, Alamo B&B, and Rio Hondo HS). Nfc activity is the sum of all incidences of a correctly ID'd BAWW detection that occurred at least one minute from another BAWW detection (see Evans & Conway 2021).
Each station used an Old Bird 21c (v2020) microphone to receive sound from the night sky. The audio signal was fed to the microphone input of a USB audio device connected to a Dell Latitude (7200 series) laptop to record the sound. Nighthawk 0.3.0 is the most recent version of software that was first released in 2023 by Benjamin Van Doren. It involves an adaptation of the methodology used by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Merlin App toward automatically detecting avian nocturnal flight calls of 80+ species.
Harold Mills programmed the data processing to transfer tentative Black-and-white Warbler detections from Nighthawk 0.3.0 to a Vesper archive in the cloud. Click the link below to access the archive and follow the instructions below the link to navigate in the archive.
