This could also be experienced when I listened to many Hundreds of Pygmy Owl recordings made by my students with passive recorders and a few „live“ field recordings from Dresden, Central Germany. </p> <p>What I want to try in this article, is to group the different sounds found in Xenocanto recordings and our own recordings. This could help in understanding the meaning of the sounds and in learning about the different vocalizations, so people can identify the species in unknown recordings. Potentially this could also help future recordists to identify the different call and song types of Eurasian Pygmy Owls and add appropriate and searchable labels on their recordings. I tried to follow as much as possible the published nomenclature on vocalizations of this species (eg. Scherzinger 1970, 1974, 1994; Robb & the Sound Approach 2015; Scherzinger & Mebs 2020 and Schönn & Scherzinger 1980). I was not able to obtain the paper by König (1968), which is frequently cited by the former mentioned literature.</p> <p>The names for the sound types I propose here, are descriptive for the sound, not for the function of the sound. For example, I do not call them „alarm calls“, but „gyu“-calls, which is much easier to understand and recall, even if you have never heard them before.</p> <p><img src="https://github.com/DD4WH/SASS/blob/main/Pygmy_owl_sounds.PNG?raw=true" alt="Overview Eurasian Pygmy Owl sounds" /></p> <p>Further explanations and examples from the different categories:</p> <h2>Simple hooting</h2> <ul> <li>only by male</li> <li>used to defend territory , advertisement and courtship</li> <li>can be heard throughout the whole year with significant peaks in autumn and early spring (see also Scherzinger 1974)</li> <li>Individual Pygmy Owl males can be identified by the frequency and other characteristics of their hooting calls (Galeotti et al. 1993, Kühlke 2020)</li> <li>in autumn, only males already posessing a territory sing this song (Scherzinger 1970: 65)</li> </ul> <p><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/635546'>XC635546</a> <a href='https://xeno-canto.org/630355'>XC630355</a> <a href='https://xeno-canto.org/789295'>XC789295</a></p> <table> <tr><td valign=top><div class='xc-audio'> <div id='xc_audio_635546_989' class='jp-type-single' data-xc-filepath='//xeno-canto.org/sounds/uploaded/XIBLXHRPJO/XC635546-GLAPAS%20210326_2203%20kulli%20parkla.mp3' data-xc-id='635546' data-xc-factor=''> <div class='jp-xc-id'><table><tr><td><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/635546'>XC635546</a> <a href='https://xeno-canto.org/635546/download'> <img src='/static/img/download.png' width='14' height='14' title='Download file 'XC635546 -

In total, we made about 29,000 recordings of 1 minute each in the last 3 years specifically for Pygmy Owl monitoring. They were treated with BirdNET-Lite to identify Pygmy Owl recordings, and that resulted in some hundreds of recordings containing Pygmy Owl - a small selection of which is presented above.</p><div></div> </article> <article class='forum-post'> <footer> <div class='userbox'> <div class='avatar-container'> <a href='/graphics/memberpics/OH38YHKJBS.png' class='fancybox'><img class='avatar' src='/graphics/memberpics/OH38YHKJBS_tb.png'/></a> </div> <h1><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/OH38YHKJBS' title='public profile'>Bob Planqué</a> <span class='admin-badge'><img class='icon' src='/static/img/admin-16.png' title='xeno-canto administrator'/>XC administrator</span></h1> <ul> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/discuss-light.png' title='Number of forum posts'/>719</li> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/audio.png' title='Number of recordings' />814</li> </ul> </div> <div class='date'>posted on February 20, 2023 at 16:42 </div> </footer> <p>Hi Frank, great effort. Be aware that XC has become the most prominent place to find recordings to train AI algorithms. For such applications, also poor recordings are very valuable. So if you do have time, consider as much as you can. You can also make a zip file with associated data and share that with Willem-Pier or myself. See the FAQ for more info if that’s interesting. </p><div></div> </article> <article class='forum-post'> <footer> <div class='userbox'> <div class='avatar-container'> <img class='avatar' src='/static/img/avatar-default-32.png'/> </div> <h1><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/YMKIPSBCZT' title='public profile'>Frank DD4WH</a> </h1> <ul> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/discuss-light.png' title='Number of forum posts'/>23</li> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/audio.png' title='Number of recordings' />47</li> </ul> </div> <div class='date'>posted on February 20, 2023 at 17:15 </div> </footer> <p>Thanks Bob, for your kind offer !

In fact Birdnet was trained to a large extent on XC data. Landed us a spot on some screen there, at some point in time in any case. It is a bit tricky to upload IDs made by Birdnet if eventually it will use them again to train newer versions :-) Circularity is around the corner. Maybe not a problem in this case, but in principle. We do not have a way to flag an ID as made by a certain version of a certain algorithm yet. Something to think about when you upload... </p><div></div> </article> <article class='forum-post'> <footer> <div class='userbox'> <div class='avatar-container'> <img class='avatar' src='/static/img/avatar-default-32.png'/> </div> <h1><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/YMKIPSBCZT' title='public profile'>Frank DD4WH</a> </h1> <ul> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/discuss-light.png' title='Number of forum posts'/>23</li> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/audio.png' title='Number of recordings' />47</li> </ul> </div> <div class='date'>posted on February 21, 2023 at 10:13 </div> </footer> <p>@Willem-Pier: thanks for chiming in! Not sure which spot on which screen you mean ... ? :-)</p> <p>It seems there is a common misunderstanding how BirdNET and other classifiers are used in practice for ornithological surveys like the one I did. Obviously I was not clear enough about my workflow, so let me explain it here:</p> <p>1.) automatic (time-scheduled) recorders do the field work of making the recordings</p> <p>2.) all recordings are processed by BirdNET-Lite or another machine learning classifier (running locally on my computer) and a table is produced which shows the filename of the recording and a confidence score for the species that I am interested in (in this case Eurasian Pygmy Owl). The higher the confidence score, the higher the probability that I will actually hear Pygmy Owl in that particular recording</p> <p>3.) filtering of the table with a user-specified confidence score threshold, so that only those recordings remain in the table that exceed the confidence score threshold</p> <p>4.) Visual inspection of the spectrograms <strong>and</strong> listening to <strong>ALL</strong> recordings in the table</p> <p>5.) Only those recordings in the table, that have been positively evaluated to really belonging to the species of interest (in my case Eurasian Pygmy Owl) by manual ID, will remain in the final results table</p> <p>6.) only manually (visual inspection of spectrogram and listening by ear) confirmed records will enter any database/portal out there (eg. Xenocanto)</p> <p>With this workflow, <strong>ALL</strong> recordings uploaded to Xenocanto would be manually verified prior to upload. </p> <p>I would strongly suggest to everyone NOT to upload recordings that have not been checked/verified regarding their species ID by a human.</p> <p>I do not see any circularity, if all uploaded recordings have been checked by human ID.</p> <p>Although I explained this workflow very precisely to an admin of another large bird distribution data portal (not Xenocanto), I was not allowed to open an account there. It really seems that some ornithologists still do not see the potential of passive recorders and BirdNET and other machine learning classifiers. Of course, every single data point uploaded to a database/portal has to be checked by a human before upload.</p> <p>I hope Xenocanto admins will allow this kind of workflow. If you still have reservations, I will be happy to discuss them with you. Until this is cleared up, I will refrain from uploading sounds in Xenocanto that I found with the help of BirdNET (or other machine learning tools). </p><div></div> </article> <article class='forum-post'> <footer> <div class='userbox'> <div class='avatar-container'> <a href='/graphics/memberpics/AEFZWKWLMO.png' class='fancybox'><img class='avatar' src='/graphics/memberpics/AEFZWKWLMO_tb.png'/></a> </div> <h1><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/AEFZWKWLMO' title='public profile'>Willem-Pier Vellinga</a> <span class='admin-badge'><img class='icon' src='/static/img/admin-16.png' title='xeno-canto administrator'/>XC administrator</span></h1> <ul> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/discuss-light.png' title='Number of forum posts'/>8872</li> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/audio.png' title='Number of recordings' />523</li> </ul> </div> <div class='date'>posted on February 21, 2023 at 13:32 </div> </footer> <p>... ahh, very good.

After listening again to those recordings, I agree with all three of your comments. I will edit the article accordingly. I took the opportunity to scan through your publications on Pygmy Owl, very nice! And I found you also noted Jay as an imitator of Pygmy Owl. I included two possible recordings of imitations into the article: <a href='https://xeno-canto.org/789285'>XC789285</a> <a href='https://xeno-canto.org/789284'>XC789284</a></p> <p>Maybe you can help decide whether that is Jay, or some other species.</p> <p>Thanks again!

I think we should break that question into two parts:</p> <p>1.) What is the general pattern of diurnal call activity ? My anecdotal observation is that in autumn and winter Pygmy Owls are more active in the morning (rarely call in the evening) and there is a shift towards higher evening call activity in the spring season. But we should really analyze data for that question.</p> <p>2.) What is the trigger for simple vs. excited (tremolo) hooting ? Maybe it is the degree of excitement / aggression that triggers the tremolo sound vs. simple hooting. My gut feeling is that it is not so much driven by the time of the day but by other factors, for example whether there is a female nearby or another male calling in or near the same place. </p> <p>Do you have observations showing a day time dependency of simple vs. excited hooting ? </p><div></div> </article> <article class='forum-post'> <footer> <div class='userbox'> <div class='avatar-container'> <a href='/graphics/memberpics/LKSFUYYSUK.png' class='fancybox'><img class='avatar' src='/graphics/memberpics/LKSFUYYSUK_tb.png'/></a> </div> <h1><a href='https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/LKSFUYYSUK' title='public profile'>Ulf Elman</a> </h1> <ul> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/discuss-light.png' title='Number of forum posts'/>9007</li> <li><img class='icon' src='/static/img/audio.png' title='Number of recordings' />1865</li> </ul> </div> <div class='date'>posted on March 30, 2023 at 22:45 </div> </footer> <p>Oh...that was a very sciency answer...</p> <p>I meant vocal activity during the period leading up to breeding, so feb-march here in Sweden.</p> <p>No, I don't have any unbiased data.
