Near real-time monitoring of wading birds using uncrewed aircraft systems and computer vision

This paper presents an end-to-end workflow for near real-time monitoring of wading birds using drones and computer vision, achieving species-level counts for five out of six target species.

A general deep learning model for bird detection in high resolution airborne imagery

The paper develops a general deep learning model for bird detection in aerial imagery, achieving high recall and precision with minimal local training.

Effect of Foraging and Nest Defense tradeoffs on the Reproductive Success of Wood Storks (Mycteria americana)

This study examines how foraging and nest defense trade-offs affect reproductive success in Wood Storks, finding that frequent foraging trips, not nest attendance, positively correlate with fledgling ratios.

Partial migration in a subtropical wading bird in the Southeastern U.S.

This study quantifies partial migration in wood storks, finding 59% migrate seasonally, 28% remain resident, and 13% are facultative migrants, suggesting migratory strategies relate to resource availability and human influence.
