Takes me back......remembering doing point counts for Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Solid census method and great for comparative analysis over the years!
This is a good idea! Im seeing so many birds out in my neighborhood, even though where I live is near the city. I can identify most birds (pigeons, scrub jays, magpies) around but always shocked when I see new neighbirds.
Thanks for this advice Cheryl! Bird counting does always mean getting up early, good point.. I'm locked down in Belgium and from my apartment I counted 28 birds and 1 butterfly joined me in 4 hours - Stewart.
