New approaches are increasingly helping to answer long-standing questions about individual behaviour in colonial waterbirds. A recent study on Painted Storks Mycteria leucocephala breeding in New Delhi illustrates how Deep Transfer Learning can be used to identify individual birds and document nest-site fidelity using non-invasive methods. Working in a long-established colony within the Delhi Zoo,…Continue reading Deep Transfer Learning opens new possibilities for studying storks, ibises and spoonbills: a novel and non-invasive AI approach to studying nest-site fidelity in painted storks Mycteria leucocephala
