Do you know about this tracking technology?
When attending the recent Cape May Birding Festival, we were introduced to
the product of a local Cape May company, the Terra (sound) tracking
system. It has the ability to recognize sounds going over/near its
location... birds, animals, insects... and even tagged butterflies using
radio transmissions. The database of sounds is their own collection, not
those at McCaulay Lib at Cornell.
The AI programming has the ability to record and archive an unfamiliar
sound and wait for more of the same sound and ID it later.
Here's a link to the work that is going on in this company. The terra
stations are being sold through NJ Audubon. At the Festival, I was told
there are 3-5 'listeners' in VT. (Not me, yet). Know what's happening in
the skies without freezing or roasting or being attached by insects.... 😊
