[ECOLOG-L] Measuring Noise Disturbance on Shorebirds
Hello all, I am making a request for information. I have just started on a Master's project, in which I and my collaborators will be studying the effects of military overflights (i.e. noise disturbance) on shorebirds on the coast of North Carolina. We plan on placing video cameras on the nests and colonies of a few species (American Oystercatchers, Least Terns, Black Skimmers, Wilson's Plovers) to document their response to the disturbance of the flights. We are researching various equipment, set-ups, and methods for video recording of the birds and nests. We are particularly interested in Digital Video Recorders and current technology. Therefore, if anyone has any advice for monitoring noise disturbance with video, and/or is currently utilizing these methods in their research - or, if anyone has any general suggestions on methods for measuring effects of noise disturbance outside of video monitoring - any insight would be most helpful and greatly appreciated. Please contact me directly at: tracyborne...@gmail.com Many thanks, Tracy Borneman Graduate Research Assistant Department of Biology North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC tracyborne...@gmail.com _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
