See how Eastside Audubon is listening for birds

BirdSense is an Eastside Audubon project that uses sound to learn which birds are using our local habitats. Volunteers place audio recorders in the field and collect the recordings. Software then picks out the bird calls, and trained volunteers review those detections to confirm what was heard. Over time, the results will show which species are present, where and when.

We will give a guided walkthrough of the site. They will show what is live today and how the pieces fit together:

• Uploading recordings from the field

• Reviewing detections

• The review rules that keep the workload manageable

• A first look at how the public side of the site might work

There will be time for questions, and your input will help shape where Tim and Natasha focus next. No preparation or experience is needed. Everyone is welcome, whether you are already volunteering or just curious about the project.
