Burkebox Haikubox September 2024
September Report
Introduction
A monthly report on the birds detected at the BurkeBox Haikubox. The box in located in the lower Wallingford area of Seattle, Washington.
Data
We start with all the Haikubox data for BurkeBox. The observations are from September 23, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
The Haikubox shows the score (probability) from the prediction model for each species detection. Only observations with prediction score greater than 0.5 will be included in this analysis.
For the month of September, 57 species were observed (compared to 52 for August). Of these 0 species were new in September. There were 15554 detections across all species for the month (compared to 11953 for August).
Special Note
European Starling counts are way up compared to August. They appeared on 11 days with 45 detections in August. In September Starlings appeared on 20 days with 788 detections. This high count is likely because the fig tree in the backyard has a good crop of figs and groups of Starlings come to feed.
Barn Owl counts are also up over August - 13 days, 21 detections in August, 22 days and 49 detections in September. Could one or more Barn Owls be roosting in the tall backyard pine trees?
Most Common Species
These species were detected on the most days in September.
Seasonal Species
These species while seen before, were not seen in the previous month. Again, the single detections with low detection score may not be legitimate.
