YES!! I agree. It would be great to add some sort of credit to whomever built the detector that located the call and possibly the parameters used. This could be placed in the remarks section of xeno-canto.

Side note: Just returned from a distance sampling workshop with a passive acoustics component. I have materials on this for anyone wishing to know more.

I'm curious to know if anything is in the works for a night flight call exemplar database, to which contributions may be made.

I'm thinking of a flight call database that is accessible to anyone for easily uploading contributions, like http://www.Xeno-Canto.org. If so, is a there a projected release time-frame?

So many people are out there collecting voluminous NFC data. It would be great to get the best-of-the-best of these examples, especially examples of non-North American flight calls, into an easily useable and accessible sound library of sorts.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
