Hahh, maybe I should just turn this blog over to Chuck Hunter, LOL… will defer to him yet again, linking to some comments he has made over on Facebook (responding to comments by others). And again this is largely historical stuff, but still worth a gander for many:

And as long as we're again going back in time I’ll note that Dwight Norris recently drew attention to a new-ish computerized video system for photographing/IDing bird species in flight:

It’s called “Identiflight” and appears to be an update or evolution (different people though I think involved???) of a system called ACONE which was tried in the Arkansas Big Woods 15+ years ago. I had high hopes for it at the time it was first announced, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and indeed seemed to be out-of-commission due to issues, more than it was in operation! :(( No doubt great advancements have been made since then, but even so, as a practical matter rather doubt the new system can or will be employed for current IBWO searches.
Currently unsure if I'll have any other posts for February...?
