HEY!!!!

I’m going to be at AOS in St. Louis presenting my first first-author publication, comparing Merlin Sound ID to point counters in field surveys :) you should come see my talk in Methods & Models 3 on Thursday @ 10:30!

Birders: if you never again want to ask "WTH is a WTHA?," check out Goldeneye, an alpha code dictionary (alphacodes.net)! It's also available as a Chrome extension (bit.ly/goldeneye-chrome).

Featuring newly-updated codes, so you can now search for NHWR, AGOS, WECE, ABOW, REDP, ...! 🥳

Bird #bioacoustics folks: @kitzeslab.bsky.social is hosting a hands-on "Advanced topics in bioacoustic monitoring" workshop at AOS 2025!

We'll make custom sound ID models, estimate birds' positions using acoustic localization, and discuss how to use sound ID results to make ecological insights.
Workshops & Training Opportunities - AOS 2025 Annual Meeting
The workshops and training sessions at AOS 2025 offer opportunities both for hands-on learning exercises, where participants engage in a mix of lectures and activities, and for panel discussions on a ...

Broadly, my scientific interests include habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring, and conservation technology. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to nerd out about anything ranging from bioacoustics to avian ecology and behavior to marine habitats.

I've also previously worked with restored marine habitats as well. From coral reefs to oyster reefs, I've used bioacoustics to monitor fish and marine invertebrates like snapping shrimp. I also love taking underwater photos.

Hi everyone!

My name is Pat and I'm a PhD student in the @kitzeslab.bsky.social at the University of Pittsburgh. My research focuses on using #AudioMoths to monitor birds in restored forests across Pennsylvania. I also use machine learning classifiers to detect birdsong within my recordings.
