Abstract
We used audio recording dataloggers known as Frogloggers to collect nocturnal bird vocalizations at eight different sites within the Davy Crockett National Forest and the Stephen F. Austin Experimental Forest in eastern Texas from 9 May 2000 to 31 June 2001. We programmed the dataloggers to record for one-minute intervals at the beginning of each hour starting at 2100 and ending at 0200 DST. Our technique has the potential to determine the relative seasonal occurrence of nocturnally vocalizing species. Originally developed for amphibians, this technology is proving useful for avian monitoring.
