Birds in European forests sing at times that don’t match survey guidelines, according to new research. Scientists from the University of Göttingen used artificial intelligence to analyze millions of bird sounds, finding surprising patterns in when different species vocalize. The research team recorded birds at 256 forest locations in Lower Saxony, Germany. Their devices captured 30-second clips every 10 minutes from March to May, collecting 6.4 million bird sounds. AI technology identified which of the 53 forest bird species made each sound. “Our data shows that there are far more activity types than ‘larks’ and ‘owls’ among forest bird species,” … Continue reading AI Bird Study Reveals 64% of Surveys Miss Peak Activity Times
