We were successful in both, and I am currently working through the sound files using Kaleidoscope Pro software (Wildlife Acoustics). The demo version allows me to analyze all sound files from the week (though the demo version limits the number of files) <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-498 \" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/allenisland\/files\/2017\/05\/Allen-Island-ME_EAKI_20170503.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/islandcampus\/files\/2017\/05\/Allen-Island-ME_EAKI_20170503.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/islandcampus\/files\/2017\/05\/Allen-Island-ME_EAKI_20170503-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/islandcampus\/files\/2017\/05\/Allen-Island-ME_EAKI_20170503-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/islandcampus\/files\/2017\/05\/Allen-Island-ME_EAKI_20170503-1024x682.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>and use the cluster analysis tool. The algorithm searches the sound files and matches up signals that share similar acoustic parameters. The system is very efficient as it ignores the silent parts of the recordings but creates a record of every recorded sound (including<br \/>\nrain). I re-deployed the sound meters, set again to record for 15 minutes every hour until I return around May 18. We enjoyed seeing more migratory birds, flushed the resident Great Horned Owl, and had a close encounter with a Northern Gannet.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Louis\u2019 eBird lists:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boat out:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S36514663\">https:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S36514663<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Morning foray:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S36514665\">https:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S36514665<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afternoon foray:&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S36514667\">https:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S36514667<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allen Island Trip report for 3 May 2017 Participants\u2014Cathy and Louis Bevier Our goals for the trip were to retrieve recordings from the two sound meters I deployed last week and to observe changes in animal activity, primarily for birds as they engage in spring migration.
