BirdsPlus

BirdsPlus — a proof of concept for automated bird acoustic monitoring

BirdsPlus is a small demo platform for ingesting field audio recordings, running them through an automated bird-call classifier (BirdNET), and letting researchers browse, filter, and map what was detected — a single recording's raw detections, or every occurrence of a species across a region and time range.

Recordings

Use cases:
  • find recordings to view and edit details about them.
    • run audio through a different model
    • correct/override what the model detected
  • upload new recordings

Map

Use cases:
  • view summarized bird activity.

Reports

Use cases:
  • save and revisit named queries — species, area, and time range — as a recurring summary instead of re-entering filters each time.
Future enhancements:
  • exporting animations which visualize occurrence counts and temperature over time
  • line graphs
  • etc
