Following BirdVox's appearance on the Science Friday radio show, Public Radio International (PRI) has published a follow-up article about BirdVox: "Scientists are using sound to track nighttime bird migration". Here's an excerpt:
A group of researchers at New York University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology are helping to track the nighttime migratory patterns of birds by teaching a computer to recognize their flight calls. The technique, called acoustic monitoring, has existed for some time, but the development of advanced computer algorithms may provide researchers with better information than they have gathered in the past.
