New paper of interest for folks with large acoustic datasets!
We examined the effects of compressing ARU recordings to MP3 on acoustic indices, recognizer performance, and community listening

Today we celebrated a visit from @LGL_enviro, a long term partner and supporter of LPBO and @BirdsCanada @BirdsCanada_ON. Thank you! Birding was slow, but a Cape May Warbler put on a show, and three Willet was a treat! #birdathon #migration 📷 Natasha Barlow and @AnousBirding
April 30 is the last day of the survey window for several of the owl protocols for @ONBirdAtlas including the central Ontario protocol for Barred and Northern Saw-whet Owls. More details here: birdsontario.org/owl-nightja…
Out doing #owl surveys for @ONBirdAtlas near Elliot Lake last night. Lots of frogs, but a quiet night for owls until the last station, a pair of Barred owls showed up & were calling very close! So cool! Audio clip below: (daytime pic is from a few years ago). #ONBirdAtlas2023

Really happy to see this final paper from my PhD thesis published!

When I started working on owls for my PhD, I was surprised to discover how little we know about some 🦉 species. Northern Hawk Owl are one such species, and I'm so pleased to see this work on their habitat use published. Great working with @zonotrick and @juliaeput on this!
The Northern Hawk Owl is one of the most iconic species in the boreal forest and is also one of the least known. Check out our recent paper, coauthored by @juliaeput and @JuliaShonfield, that sheds some light on their post-fire habitat use in western N.A.

What a fascinating story about a newly described owl 🦉species: A new species of scops-owl from Príncipe Island, São Tomé and Príncipe
Great to finally announce the new Principe Scops-owl, Otus bikegila, endemic to Príncipe island, Gulf of Guinea, West Africa. It was a long but super exciting journey! Now published in @ZooKeys_Journal zookeys.pensoft.net/article/…
Get to know this new species and the story behind👇

Beautiful fall day 🍂spent with my co-workers planting trees and shrubs for a wetland restoration project by @ConservHalton
We all showed up with rubber boots and/or waders and it turned out the site was far more dry than normal this fall

Fall is typically a good time to see a lot of mushrooms in the field, this one is from earlier this summer in northern Ontario, I have no idea what it is but I like that it reminds me of tree rings #fungi #fieldwork

Found a luna moth while working in NW Ontario this June, only the second time I've ever seen this species! With their large size and striking colouration, they are an exciting find!

Sometimes I bring my camera out and the wildlife just don't really lend themselves to great photos, other times I happen to have my camera ready when a muskrat suddenly swims by at close range. Here's the result

Happy #MigratoryBirdDay
There are so many migratory birds moving through southern Ontario right now, a few recent exciting sightings for me include a Blackburnian warbler and Chestnut-sided warbler
