Researchers at Dalhousie University are determining factors influencing the accuracy of bird survey point-counts, and we need your help! We welcome anyone with birdwatching experience to go to http://leonardlab.biology.dal.ca/survey to take part in a ~15-20 minute web survey that will simulate a variety of point count scenarios and help managers design more effective surveys and data analysis techniques. Participation is completely anonymous, and fun! Please note that the scenarios are deliberately on the difficult side -- this is to ensure that we collect a range of scores -- but as a result, they'll be very good practice for present and future citizen scientists! Any questions can be directed to Bob Farmer at [log in to unmask] Thanks very much for your help! --Bob Farmer PhD candidate, Leonard Lab, Dalhousie University Halifax, NS, Canada http://leonardlab.biology.dal.ca [log in to unmask]
