_POWDERMILL_NATURE_DESCRIPTION = """Acoustic recordings of soundscapes are an important category of audio data which 

can be useful for answering a variety of questions, and an entire discipline within ecology, dubbed "soundscape 

ecology," has risen to study them. Bird sound is often the focus of studies of soundscapes due to the ubiquitousness 

of birds in most terrestrial environments and their high vocal activity. Autonomous acoustic recorders have increased 

the quantity and availability of recordings of natural soundscapes while mitigating the impact of human observers on 

community behavior. However, such recordings are of little use without analysis of the sounds they contain. Manual 

analysis currently stands as the best means of processing this form of data for use in certain applications within 

soundscape ecology, but it is a laborious task, sometimes requiring many hours of human review to process 

comparatively few hours of recording. For this reason, few annotated datasets of soundscape recordings are publicly 

available. Further still, there are no publicly available strongly-labeled soundscape recordings of bird sounds which 

contain information on timing, frequency, and species. Therefore, we present the first dataset of strongly-labeled 

bird sound soundscape recordings under free use license. These data were collected in the Northeastern United States 

at Powdermill Nature Reserve, Rector, PA. Recordings encompass 385 minutes of dawn chorus recordings collected by 

autonomous acoustic recorders between the months of April through July 2018. Recordings were collected in continuous 

bouts on four days during the study period, and contain 48 species and 16,052 annotations. Applications of this 

dataset may be numerous, and include the training, validation, and testing of certain advanced machine learning 

models which detect or classify bird sounds."""
