This website is a collaboration between the Listening Together Project, the Kitzes Lab at the University of Pittsburgh, and the Phil Taylor Lab at Acadia University:
- Our initial dataset of flight calls were collected through a series of nocturnal monitoring stations run by John Kearney (Listening Together Project) and Phil Taylor (Acadia University)
- John Kearney identified and annotated the calls on this webpage
- Annotation dataset was standardized and compiled by Lauren Chronister, Louis Freeland-Haynes, and Tessa Rhinehart (University of Pittsburgh)
- Tessa Rhinehart prepared the website content and designed and built the website. The GitHub repository for this website is found here
