SAIN resources about SoundsThese are resources in the NBII catalog relating to sounds. There are 36 resources available. 1. Birds: A virtual Exhibition Resource Identifier: http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/Exhibitions/Birds/Birds/ Cataloging Node: Southern Appalachian Information Node Creator: Canadian Heritage Information Network Subject: Organisms, Wildlife, Animal diversity, Fauna, Birds, Migratory birds, Songbirds, Aquatic birds, Birds of prey, Introduced birds Uncontrolled Keywords: Birding, Bird conservation Scientific Name(s): Aves Common Name(s): Birds Description: Welcome to a virtual exhibition on Canadian birds. This site has been developed for birders, students and high-flying surfers. It provides an insight into the wealth of knowledge in Canadian museums about the world of birds. Publisher: Canadian Heritage Information Network Resource Type: Publications Resource Format: URL Language: English Hemisphere: Northern Hemisphere Continent: North America Country: United States, Canada Rights: Copyright held by Publisher 2. Life Histories of North American Birds by Arthur C. Bent Resource Identifier: http://birdsbybent.com/ Cataloging Node: Southern Appalachian Information Node Creator: Patricia Query Newforth Subject: Organisms, Wildlife, Animal diversity, Fauna, Birds, Migratory birds, Songbirds, Aquatic birds, Birds of prey, Introduced birds, Biodiversity, Natural resources, Conservation, Nature conservation, Resource conservation Uncontrolled Keywords: Encyclopedias Scientific Name(s): Aves Common Name(s): Birds Description: This is an electronic, online version of Arthur C. Bent’s Life Histories of North American Birds, published in twenty-one volus from 1919-1968, commissioned by the Smithsonian Institution. There are fact sheets about birds from all of North America, with information relevant and accurate to the time in which it was written. The author of the site states that the purpose is to “troduce Arthur Cleveland Bent's (1866-1954) work to new generations of bird watchers, conservationists, and amateur naturalists.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center – Bird Checklis Resource Identifier: http://data.massgis.state.ma.us/Biodiversity/ Cataloging Node: Southern Appalachian Information Node Creator: Lawrence D. Igl Subject: Birds, Birds of prey, Migratory birds, Introduced birds, Songbirds, Aquatic birds, Nature reserves Uncontrolled Keywords: geographic distribution Description: Despite the geographic reference point in the name of this site, the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (operated by the USGS) has links to thorough checklists of all known bird species that can be sighted at listed wildlife refuges in all of the USA. States are accessed individually, and the checklists of birds provide information as to when the bird can expect to be sighted, with what frequency the bird appears, whether it nests there, and whether it is a native to that particular area.

Each bird which breeds in South Carolina is mapped individually with possible, probable, and confirmed breeding locations.

Acoustic Monitoring of Night-Migrating Birds: A Progress Report Resource Identifier: http://birds.cornell.edu/pifcapemay/evans_rosenberg.htm Cataloging Node: CSA Creator: Cornell University Subject: birds, monitoring, vocalization behavior, identification, migratory birds, conservation, weather, geography Uncontrolled Keywords: night-migrating birds; acoustic monitoring; vocal migrants; night-flight calls; microphone station; recording station; field recording; call detection; call analysis; nocturnal flight calls; species identifications; counting; comparison; recording net; spectrographic matching ; diurnal calls; signal processing technology ; population trends; night flight calls; landbirds; mistnetting; diurnal counts; transcontinental flights; Pressure Zone Microphones ; call detection; warblers; sparrows; bird call sequences ; minimum number of individuals passing ; flight speed; horizontal pickup pattern ; Caribbean migrants ; ground based banding; migrant passerines ; non calling Description: This paper discusses an emerging methodology that uses electronic technology to monitor vocalizations of night-migrating birds. On a good migration night in eastern North America, thousands of call notes may be recorded from a single ground-based, audio-recording station, and an array of recording stations across a region may serve as a "recording net" to monitor a broad front of migration. Data from pilot studies in Florida, Texas, New York, and British Columbia illustrate the potential of this technique to gather information that cannot be gathered by more conventional methods, such as mist-netting or diurnal counts. For example, the Texas station detected a major migration of grassland sparrows, and a station in British Columbia detected hundreds of Swainson's Thrushes; both phenomena were not detected with ground monitoring efforts. Night-flight calls of 35 species of migrant landbirds have been identified by spectrographic matching with diurnal calls recorded from known-identity individuals; call types of another 31 species are known, but are not yet distinguishable from other similar calls in several species complexes. Efforts to use signal-processing technology to automate the recording, detection, and identification of night-flight calls are currently under way at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Automated monitoring of night-flight calls will soon provide information on migration routes, timing, and relative migration density for many species of birds. Such information has application for conservation planning and management, as well as for assessing population trends.
