Abstract
This article summarizes the work in our laboratories toward developing adaptive sensor arrays for monitoring bird vocalizations. We have focused on four species of antbird in a tropical rainforest in Mexico. Preliminary results of individual identifications using support vector machines are presented. We also describe our initial attempts at higher-order processing of information about the identification and localization of each source.
