BirdsPlus

BirdsPlus — a proof of concept for automated bird acoustic monitoring

BirdsPlus is a demo platform that ingests field audio recordings, runs them through an automated bird-call classifier (BirdNET), and lets 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 and view or edit their details
    • Re-run audio through a different classification model
    • Correct or override the model's detections
  • Upload new recordings
Try It

Grab any recording from xeno-canto.org and upload it on the Recordings page to watch the pipeline run for real: species classification, location, and recording time, all extracted automatically.

Map

Use cases:
  • View summarized bird activity across a region and time range

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:
  • Animated visualizations correlating occurrence counts with temperature over time
  • Trend line graphs for detections over time
