It could be either by randomly picking a color for each bounding box or putting a label on top of each bounding box (i.e: bird 1). The bounding box drawing is based on MATLAB's own optical flow for tracking vehicles: http://www.mathworks.com/products/computer-vision/demos.html?file=/products/demos/shipping/vision/videotrafficof.html

My question is, using the existing code, is there anyway to randomly assign a color for each raptor's bounding box individually?

This is what I use to plot region numbers assigned by regionprops on individual images, and is modified from on of Steve Eddins' blog posts on visualizing regionprops. You'll want to change the label assignment variable (C_NUM) to one that is static for each object.

function implot_roi_nums(imgin, maskin)
%IMPLOT_ROI_NUMS will plot the label matrix values obtained from REGIONPROPS, given a
%suitable input image IMGIN, and matched binary mask MASKIN for the regions
%to be calculated

s = regionprops(maskin, 'Centroid');

imshow(imgin) %note this can be the original image, or the binary
hold on

for k = 1:length(s) %loop through each region
x = s(k).Centroid(1); %assign centroid x coord
y = s(k).Centroid(2); %assign centroid y coord
c_num = mat2str(k); %assign region number for each

%plot text on image shown
text (x, y, c_num, 'BackgroundColor', [.5 .5 .5], 'FontSize', 10);

end
