Almost every biologist studying birds in the field has had to count them at some stage and may also need to estimate their survival and reproductive rates. This book gives well-founded advice on the three important components of such studies—planning, data collection, and analysis. Ignore it at your peril.
A short, dense, and yet superbly readable compendium of best practices for bird monitoring. With unexpectedly simple language, McClure's text covers much ground and introduces plenty of deep and useful ideas.
