We studied whether using autonomous recording units (songmeters) would allow a way to study gobbling activity. We found that using songmeters allowed collection of a ton of gobbling data, and that gobbles could be teased out using software. However, sorting through the data required an enormous amount of time, and the software had a hard time distinguishing gobbles from sounds like as crow calls. We recommended that future studies adjust study designs or alter methods to improve the collection and processing of gobbling data.
