Objectif(s): To install 3 Automated Recording Units that will collect daily audio recordings that will allow us to understand how variation in environmental conditions affect habitat use by birds.

Description du projet: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5265. The project objective is to install 3 Automated Recording Units (ARUs) that will collect daily audio recordings that will allow the research team to understand how variation in environmental conditions affect habitat use by birds. In April, the team will temporarily attach 3 ARUs onto 3 trees (using bungee cord or ratchet straps). All birds that make vocalizations of any kind will be recorded by the ARUs. In October, the team will remove the ARUs. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from May 31, 2022 to October 31, 2022
