Eine Klinik für Mauersegler

In der Frankfurter Mauerseglerklinik dreht sich alles um die gefiederten Patienten. Die faszinierenden Flugkünstler sollen wieder fit gemacht werden für die Freiheit. Aber die Klinik steckt in Nöten.

Chimney swifts have been gone or at least silent in Nazareth for a month, but today I went down to Bethlehem, 10 miles away, and they were up above chattering all over town as if it were the middle of summer. Why the difference I wonder?

Because of Nazareth's track record on nature I have to wonder if they capped the big communal chimney that swifts were using before and after they separate to nest. If that's it, next summer will be missing part of its sound track. 😢 #birds #swifts

New #rstats package {skytrackr} on the way to CRAN for review. This package should provide a hands-off approach to geolocation by light.

skytrackr 1.0 CRAN release (pending) | BlueGreen Labs

I’m happy to announce that the {skytrackr} package is on its way to CRAN (pending review). The {skytrackr} R package provides a convenient template fitting methodology and a Bayesian based optimization approach to estimate locations from light profiles. In my research together with Lyndon Kearsley we’ve used geolocation by light extensively to track swifts. An example light profile, as recorded during a year by a micro-logger on the back of a swift, is shown below.
