The Canada De Los Osos Ecological Reserve is a 4,200-acre property located in the Mt. Hamilton Range in Santa Clara County. The property was purchased by CDFW in 2001 and is managed by Friends of Canada De Los Osos. Some baseline biological surveys have been conducted on the reserve through graduate student work, CDFW monitoring projects, and nest box monitoring. In November of 2024, I began a pilot study to develop acoustic monitoring baseline assessments for birds, amphibians, and bats at springs and ponds on the ecological reserve. Habitats on the reserve include annual and perennial grasslands, mixed chaparral, oak woodlands, and wetlands. I placed a SongMeter and a SongMeter4Bat recorder at the Spring Valley Pond from April 2025 - October 2025. I am currently working on processing this summer’s data through BirdNet Analyzer and am writing a grant to purchase two SongMeter Mini Bat recorders and the microphone adaptors to continue monitoring birds, amphibians, and bats at two other springs and ponds on the ecological reserve.
