The SPAM protocol is an efficient workflow for reviewing species detections produced by acoustic classifiers. We have used it to generate encounter histories for a 3 studies on birds in the Blue Mountains that are currently in review. Stay tuned for more on woodpeckers and crossbills from the Blues!
