Passive acoustic monitoring observations of birds in Ukrainian Roztochya

BirdNET confidence is indicated in the identificationRemarks column. Some records included in this dataset have been quality-controlled and represent verified presence observations. Such observations receive a 'verified' status in the identificationVerificationStatus column and the name(s) of the identifier(s) in the identifiedBy column.

Additionally, the identificationRemarks column includes a comment such as 'Confirmed by human expert(s). Original confidence: 0.38'. We do not upload all available observations to avoid 'duplication', i.e., hundreds of detections of the same species from a single day-location pair.

Observations are therefore aggregated to 1-hour intervals per location. This means that each of the 24 hours in a day from the same location may contain an observation of a particular species. Only one observation from a given hour is selected - the one with the highest confidence level (above threshold), or if there is an observation verified by a human expert, it is automatically preferred.

We think that hourly data is more useful in case somebody is interested in daily activity patterns. The full dataset can be viewed through an interactive tool - yurastrus.dev/en/pam .
