Look forward to new identification app ! 00:46:00 lynley Browne: any birder groups in Auckland that I can join ? 00:47:16 NZ Bird Atlas: Hi Jammie, if it’s struggling maybe just watch along and then you can try in your own time with the app and not worry if its lagging behind slightly 00:49:21 Rob Schuckard: Are species during trip recorded for whole trip or does ech individual have a unique recorded waypoint? 00:51:23 Mike: Thanks Robyn 00:51:37 NZ Bird Atlas: Species are recorded for the whole trip Rob 00:51:53 lynley Browne: what about apps to help identify bird sounds ?? 00:52:29 Mike: Hi Lynley, we are working with Cornell on a Bird ID app, hopefully this will be out in a month 00:52:32 NZ Bird Atlas: Hi Lynley, the app we’re working with will have sounds to listen to - the function of listening to and recording a call and then identifying is very new technology (and hard!) so the technology is coming but slowly 00:52:45 lynley Browne: ok interesting thanks 00:53:33 Mike: It is the Merlin ID App, you will see the logo popping up in Pats checklist at times 00:54:28 NZ Bird Atlas: No worries thanks for attending Marie-Louise 00:55:28 Mike: Is being recorded, so you can re-watch if you wish 00:56:37 Rob Schuckard: Species are recorded for the whole trip: Thanks!!! Presume later we will deal how this fits in 3200 atlas blocks if one trip involves multiple blocks? 00:57:33 Mike: A golden rule of the atlas, will be to do travelling checklist of 1km or less. More on this soon 00:57:55 Mike: App works offline, and can submit when back in wifi, more on this next week 01:00:11 Mike: Ideally we would ask people here to stop, and do 5 minutes observations and add additional species. Otherwise, you submit this as a incidental record. More on this next week 01:00:39 NZ Bird Atlas: No need to worry about keeping those if you don’t want Kirsten 01:00:54 NZ Bird Atlas: Rename it accurately but you don’t have to keep the coordinates 01:01:47 Richard Schofield: I'm seeing quite a few answers in the chat with no question visible? 01:02:30 Mike: Some attendees, are just asking questions visible to panel, not to panel and attendees 01:02:55 NZ Bird Atlas: Richard you may be able to see Q&A on the bottom panel? 01:03:35 Paula Roberts: Need to change to To: entry when typing in a question 01:04:08 Rhys Burns: what about weather conditions, temp etc 01:04:23 NZ Bird Atlas: Feel free to add this yes Rhys & Stuart 01:04:49 NZ Bird Atlas: If you can get it down to species level - like duck sp. or passerine sp. then yes add it 01:05:35 NZ Bird Atlas: It does not Don, so that is why we’re encouraging checklists to be around 1km long if travelling 01:05:54 NZ Bird Atlas: And also to use Guru Maps (another app) to see the grid 01:05:55 Mike: No Don it doesn't, but this is the main reason we are asking for checklist of between 5-60minutes, and no longer than 1km. 01:06:00 NZ Bird Atlas: We’ll cover this more next week 01:06:12 Mike: Dan beat me to this answer! 01:06:46 NZ Bird Atlas: I’ll answer this soon Stuart 01:08:04 Paula Roberts: How do you get back to the initial screen?

More on this next week, or we can walk you through this at the end 01:08:49 Mike: Fire through questions please 01:12:15 Rhys Burns: Is there a maximum distance that birds should not be recorded beyond? 01:12:46 Grant Crawford: What was the difference between incidental and random types? 01:16:12 Heather Rogers: Can you please upload a map of the Bird Atlas of New Zealand showing squares that have already been covered 01:22:06 Rhys Burns: Can you submit photos of large flocks or colonies to prove your observation of large numbers? 01:22:45 Mike: Yes, more on that next week 01:23:36 Mike: Hopefully in a month, we will have the NZ pack available, we are working on it now 01:23:57 Sue Courtney: Where are the NZ Atlas grid squares for reference. 01:26:00 Jean Jack: and audio clips covered? excellent 01:27:08 Jean Jack: April Backyard Challenge is on. 01:28:16 Rob Schuckard: Many Thanks, very informative.
