"Using a large acoustic dataset from participatory science, we quantified how #birds changed their vocalizations in response to the 2023 annular and 2024 total eclipses in North America. During the total #eclipse, most species vocalized less, but nocturnal and large-eyed species vocalized more."

A research infographic titled "Automated, participatory data reveal avian vocal responses to solar eclipses."

Top Panel (a): A conceptual diagram shows diurnal birds (like the Northern Parula and Tufted Titmouse) vocalizing during partial eclipse phases but falling silent during totality, while a nocturnal Barred Owl remains silent until totality, where it begins to vocalize.

Bottom Panels (b and c): Two maps of North America display the geographical distribution of acoustic sensors. Map (b) shows the path of the October 14, 2023, annular eclipse, and map (c) shows the path of the April 8, 2024, total eclipse, with sensor locations color-coded by their position inside or outside the path.
