00:47:43 David Bradbeer: Thank you Michael. Can you speak to the future research you will be conducting? Will you be looking at the response to human activity (e.g., aircraft traffic) by specific taxa? 00:48:34 Alessandro Montemaggiori: Thank you very much for the very interesting presentation! Just one question: probably I missed it, but don’t you think that during lockdown more people went for birdwatching or recorded more observations than before? How did you measure this kind of bias, if you did? 00:49:48 Gillian Radcliffe: I’m hoping you can expand a bit on how you control for changes in human behaviour? 00:49:53 Maxime Allard: Did you check if their is a different response from migratory vs resident birds? If so, this proportion change with the latitude, did you check if the latitude might have an effect? 00:51:52 Paul Woods: Happy to participate -- YYZ 00:52:39 Gary Kindrat: YYC would participate. 00:52:55 Paul Woods: There's another factor to the environment which is increased opportunity for shelter in parked airplanes - not just absence of air traffic 00:56:03 Paul Woods: Perfect - thanks! 00:56:15 Gary Kindrat: Thank you. 00:56:18 Maxime Allard: Thank you! 00:56:18 Kathleen Gurski: thank you! 00:56:21 Pierre Molina: Merci beaucoup Michael! 00:56:26 Marilou Skelling: Thank you! 00:56:27 Rachel Greene: Thank you! 00:56:39 Alessandro Montemaggiori: Thank you Michael 00:58:34 Pietra Sjoen: Thank you! 00:59:07 Alessandro Montemaggiori: Just display settings 01:01:46 Michael Schrimpf: I think that Gillian's question was similar to Alessando's question, but if you'd like more details on how we controlled for changes to birder behavior, let me know. Our measure of human activity that we used in the model came from publicly available Google data, which was summarized at the county level (one reason why we modeled birds at that level). Any more fine-scale data on changes to activity (e.g. from airports) would help us with future work! 01:07:38 Michael Schrimpf: In response to Maxime's question re. migratory vs resident birds: so far we haven't seen any really obvious differences between migratory vs resident birds, partly because many birds are difficult to categorize into those two groups across the whole continent (i.e., some are migratory in Canada, but not in Florida). We definitely saw a strong effect of that "overlap" variable for many species, though, indicating that when migratory birds weren't in a county during the height of the lockdown the effects of the lockdown were much less pronounced. 01:09:44 Michael Schrimpf: Paul - thanks for that suggestion, I hadn't really considered how much the presence of parked aircraft would have changed an airport habitat during the pandemic. That might help explain some of the species-specific things we saw. If any of you have anecdotal observations of wildlife using parked planes differently during the pandemic, please let me know (they might help us design future hypotheses to test). 01:16:35 Pierre Molina: Michael - A project was proposed by Bird Strike Canada and our teams initiated at both Pearson Int. Airport and Montreal Airport a wildlife data activity monitoring project at those airports during the pandemic. We do have a great extent of wildlife count data pre-Covid and during Covid. We can also share aircraft data with the airport authorization. Would be pleased to share the data and collaborate with your team. 01:18:49 Michael Schrimpf: Thanks Pierre (and others with potential airport activity data) - if you send me a quick email (michael.schrimpf@umanitoba.ca) I can forward it to Nicky and hopefully we can work together on it! 01:24:22 Devon Harris: Thanks Lee! 01:24:25 Pietra Sjoen: Thanks Lee! 01:24:39 Gary Kindrat: thank you Lee 01:24:39 Kendra Bisbing: Thanks Lee 01:24:41 Kathleen Gurski: thank you. 01:25:03 Isabel Metz: thanks for the great initiative Gary and for the inspiring talks Michael and Lee! 01:25:04 Pierre Molina: Thanks Lee! 01:25:07 Amanda Rollinson: Thank you for all the information! 01:25:13 Pietra Sjoen: Thanks Gary 01:25:18 Alessandro Montemaggiori: Thank you and goodbye from Rome! 01:25:19 Wade Hoffer: Thanks everyone 01:25:19 Sarah Gagnon: Thank you! After note from the moderator. Although it seems obvious, for clarity sake I checked with Lee regarding the combination bar/line graphs he presented on strikes. Note that the vertical bars represent number of strikes and the line represents strikes per flight (note that this will be double the rate most of us are used to i.e. strikes/movement since each flight represents 2 movements). I am not sure about the scale of the line graph, but certainly Lee's explanation of the trend line was informative.
