Description:
The Pettersson D500x detector was mounted permanently next to Lateral C on Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge. The detector was within 200 meters of the Little Pend Oreille River and the microphone was 3 meters above ground level.
Detector settings were: Frequency = 500; Pretrigger = OFF, File Length = 5 seconds; Input Gain = 80; Trigger Level = 120; Interval = 0.
Files were processed with SonoBat 3.1. They were scrubbed with the high-grade scrubber, then batch analyzed using the Washington East Filter. Default settings include: Max # of calls to consider per file = 8, acceptable call quality = 0.80, acceptable quality to tally passes = 0.20,
decision threshold = 0.90. Filter settings were 5 kHz and autofilter.
A small number of files were vetted by hand. Vetting was conducted to verify species presence for each calendar month, and to double-check identification of species suspected to be out of range or uncommon species in the dataset.
For calls that were not vetted, the CONSENSUS column from SonoBat was used for species identification. If the consensus column was blank, calls were grouped by low or high frequency, based on those columns in the output file of SonoBat.
Data summarizes presented are raw output from SonoBat, with little hand-vetting of results and data should be considered raw.
