A new feature in the results page (https://t.co/5yUUlfW21p). You can filter the species list to show just the ones you have annotated, click "Own species".

Chaffinch still holds the no. 1 spot as the most annotated species (pic: Jorma Tenovuo).

Patrik Lauha explains why he builds local models to identify bird sounds in Lifeplan data, not just one global model @BirdSoundGlobal

A new country has been added to the Annotate Soundscape portal. Data was collected by @DOFBirdLife in Skagen. After annotations, BSG will provide identification models made from said data.

Contact us if you're also interested in uploading data and annotating it

@abfleishman @AudubonAmericas @audubonsociety @OSNZBirdsNZ @LifeplanProject Yes, all data is openly available and the identification models based on this data will also be open.

[Bird Sounds Global @BirdSoundGlobal]

A new milestone has been reached, over 10k soundscapes annotated!

Most of the annotations are from Europe and we welcome more users e.g. from The Americas and New Zealand.

A good reason to contribute to the BSG is to enhance your own sound-recognition skills. Focusing completely on the sounds with the help of the audiovisual spectrograms is highly educational even for the most hard-core birders.
