Abstract

Birding is booming. You may realize your local nature spots are especially busy during seasonal migrations, when birds move between their summer and winter grounds. Species that you had been noticing disappear may have been replaced by ones that hadn't been there before. Or you may have seen migrating birds on the wing—say, a flock of geese flying in their famous V-formation. Even if you're not a dedicated birder, you've probably made such observations throughout your life. So it might come as a surprise to learn that you've been missing out on most of this action, which takes place at night. But, as I discovered, with some simple electronics and the right software, you can identify nocturnal migrators with ease!

夜间观鸟 > 用塑料碟和廉价麦克风探测迁徙鸟类

观鸟活动正在蓬勃发展。您可能会发现，在季节性候鸟迁徙期间，当地的自然景点特别热闹，因为此时鸟类会在夏季和冬季的栖息地之间迁徙。您一直注意到的消失的鸟种可能会被以前没有出现过的鸟种取代。或者，您可能已经看到了展翅飞翔的候鸟--比如，一群大雁排成著名的 "V "字形飞行。即使你不是一个专门的鸟类爱好者，你也可能在一生中进行过这样的观察。因此，当您得知自己错过了大部分发生在夜间的鸟类活动时，可能会大吃一惊。不过，正如我发现的那样，只要有一些简单的电子设备和合适的软件，您就可以轻松识别夜间迁徙的鸟类！
