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.
Workshops & Training Opportunities - AOS 2025 Annual Meeting
The workshops and training sessions at AOS 2025 offer opportunities both for hands-on learning exercises, where participants engage in a mix of lectures and activities, and for panel discussions on a ...

Hi everyone!

My name is Pat and I'm a PhD student in the @kitzeslab.bsky.social at the University of Pittsburgh. My research focuses on using #AudioMoths to monitor birds in restored forests across Pennsylvania. I also use machine learning classifiers to detect birdsong within my recordings.
