We intend to distribute 30 to 40 AudioMoths (AM) sensors strapped to trees or installed on wood stakes provided by our team (Fig.1). The AM will be installed in predefined points that will be identified by leveraging existing networks, including bird point counts, plots of the National Phenology Network and, plots defined by the NASA-SHIFT team to measure vegetation traits. We anticipate that the AudioMoths can record continuously throughout the campaign. However, we may need to revisit the units once to replace batteries. Our team will remove the AM and wood stakes in the last visit to the sites.
