Interesting use of "crowd sourced" analysis:

"Queensland doctoral researcher Jason Wimmer: 'We post the audio segments o=
nline and ask the birdwatching community to have a go at telling us what th=
ey are.'"

Another good feature of this approach is that the audio recordings can be a=
rchived, and re-analysed in the future, when improvements are made in the s=
oftware that parses the recordings to identify possible bird sounds.  The a=
bility to extract new information from the traditional point counts or walk=
ing transits is limited.
