Lab Programs

Bioacoustics Research Program The Lab's Bioacoustics Research Program develops software and other equipment to help scientists better understand and monitor wildlife populations.
Programs at the Lab span an exciting spectrum from cutting-edge research, citizen science, and conservation work to the development of dynamic educational and multimedia resources for the study and appreciation of birds. Many of these programs offer opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds, including elementary and middle-school children, to learn more about birds and the scientific process by participating in real, hands-on research projects.

Programs
