HINTS AND DETAILS

Give standard bird name or code: example - Common Raven, or CORA

--- If unable to determine species, give genus level name + "sp.": example - Grebe sp.

--- If able to tell form, please include: example - Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon)

Avoid duplicate counts of the same birds! If you retrace or revisit any part of your route, do not count

those birds unless they are a new species or form for your route, or greater numbers than seen before.

If you follow a linear route (out and back on the same path or road) record the distance one way,

NOT round trip. Remember: do not recount the same birds on your way back.

Take your time - try to record all birds on your route. You can "pish" to bring birds in. DO NOT play recordings!

You can revisit areas, but don't add to your distance and do not duplicate count.

If you can identify a bird by sound, it is OK to include it even if not seen.

Rare Birds: If you see an unusual species or form (birds that are out of range, season, or difficult to identify)

take thorough field notes of identifying characteristics, get photo if possible.
