Searching for Powerful Owls and other night birds
We need your help to search for night fauna at QUT’s Samford Ecological Research Facility.
By finding as many vocalisations of Powerful Owls, Southern Boobooks and Bush-stone Curlews as you can, you will not only help give a better understanding of the presence of these wonderful animals at Samford, but you will also contribute valuable data that will help us build powerful tools to make the task of conducting acoustic ecological surveys easier.
