The launch of Sound ID in Merlin is one of the most exciting things to come out of the Lab of O since I've been there. I've had the privilege of testing the beta version of the app prior to the public release and it's such a cool new tool! Definitely check it out asap!

We are thrilled to announce the call for applicants for the first annual Resnick Sustainability Institute at Caltech Summer School on Computer Vision Methods for Ecology. This intensive, three-week program will teach applied computer vision methods to senior ecology graduate students and postdocs. #CV4Ecology

Nice use of eBird data to examine how changes in human activity in the early months of the pandemic impacted birds

Introducing ShorebirdViz—a cutting-edge, interactive tool with abundance estimates of #shorebirds at multiple spatial & temporal scales to help advance #conservation. bit.ly/3m99wAX WHSRN Aves Playeras Global Flyway Network World Shorebirds Day Manomet Conservation Sciences @PointBlueConSci

ShorebirdViz - mind-blowing new tool to visualize the abundance and movements of 51 shorebird species at a 3km x 3km scale, for every week of the year, powered by the citizen-science observations eBird Cornell Lab shorebirdviz.ebird.org

Biology Prof. Joseph Bennett is using his NSERC / CRSNG Alliance Grant to create AI tools to help NatureConservancy.ca | Conservationdelanature.ca and Environment Canada make better land purchasing choices through conservation data. Read about it here: ow.ly/hK0N50GFbCn

The eBird Status & Trends Project is pleased to announce the release of the 2021 eBird Status & Trends visualizations. This year, the team modeled relative abundance for 1,009 species across the globe using data from > 300,000 eBirders. 🎉#eBirdScience bit.ly/3CqIPxC

My first paper is out!😊 On how tropical forest fires🔥 affect the value of #regenerating cattle pastures🌱 for birds🦜 (spoiler: it's worse for more forest-dependent species). Grateful to my co-authors, WCS Mesoamérica y El Caribe, and my field crew in Guatemala authors.elsevier.com/a/1fCcB_9CgS5-…

Really pleased that our long-running project on birds of the Western Ghats, using eBird data, is now out in Ecography! Congrats to @vjjan91 for this part of his PhD; looking forward to our future work! But seriously, when Himalayas Vijay, when? Real mountains plz.

Attending #AOS_BC_22 and interest in using eBird Status and Trends data? I'd be happy to meet this week to talk about data access, answer questions, trouble shoot issues you may be having, and learn how you're using the data. DM me here or on the conference Slack space

eBird Status Maps are now interactive! 👀 Zoom in & get detailed information for more than 1,000 species around the world. Thanks Mapbox for the awesome dynamic maps & to all the eBirders who shared observations! bit.ly/3NV3M9H Cornell Lab #eBirdScience #birds

The roots of topical diversity - new study suggests interspecific competition, rather than climate, is primary driver of geographic ranges in tropical mountain birds. Ben Freeman Matt SM Eliot Miller using citizen science eBird data science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Exciting use of eBird observations to investigate the forces shaping bird ranges in tropical mountains. A huge thank you to eBirders around the world for collecting the data that made this study possible!
