Preparations and Equipment Setup Prior to the Field Season
Peitz DG. 2004. Preparations and Equipment Setup Prior to the Field Season
Prior to the field season each year, usually beginning in March or April, all observers should review this entire protocol, including SOPs. Misidentification is much more serious than errors in estimating distances or double-counting a bird. This SOP also gives a brief description of how bird monitoring should be scheduled at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, Nebraska and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kansas.
