Product Description

Review
"It provides a concise guide to the most widely used census techniques, with detailed description of methodologies and discussion of the advantages and shortcomings association with each method. The guide is well illustrated with explanatory diagrams and is referenced to the scientific literature on the subject...An essential reference for anyone engaged in bird census studies."
- NORTHEASTERN NATURALIST

"This guide to the various techniques used to count wild birds is relevant to ornithological field researchers, both amateur and professional, and ecologists and conservation biologists undergoing census studies of wild bird populations. The advantages, limitations and applications of each technique are discussed in detail."
-ETHOLOGY (January 2002)

"...an important and substantial update of an extremely valuable book. It is a 'must' for any bird-surveyors, volunteer and professional alike, who do not have the first edition--and probably also for those of you who do have."
-Juliet Vickery in BRITISH BIRDS (July 2001)

Product Description
In this book there are entire chapters devoted to the most widely used bird counting techniques, and attempts to amalgamate other counting methodologies into major groups were made. Examples of the use of methods are provided wherever possible and the relative value of various approaches for answering specific questions is also addressed.

Key Features
* A newly revised edition of the immensely successful Bird Census Techniques
* An entirely new chapter covering the census methods recommended for tropical habitats
* Provides a concise guide to various census techniques and their opportunities and pitfalls

5.0 out of 5 stars An Impressive Achievement, 5 Jun 2003
By Mr. W. A. P. Brown "William Brown" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Increasing numbers of both professionals and amateur ornithologists are becoming involved in conducting bird surveys. Due to the immense variety of potential survey techniques it is often confusing for the researcher to know which one is most suitable for a particular project. Even the amateur, who is carrying out a pre-selected survey on behalf of an organization such as the BTO, may not have a full appreciation of why they are using a specific methodology. This comprehensive book provides an overview of all the major techniques used to survey birds and thus fills this knowledge gap. It constantly stresses that the particular methodology chosen is entirely dependent on what the objectives of the survey are.

I found this book immensely helpful when carrying out my research. It forced me to sharpen up my study design by covering issues such as the purpose and design of surveys, common sources of bias and how to minimise them and then providing a thorough explanation of the merits and pitfalls of various techniques and when it is most suitable to use them. All of the major techniques are covered such as territorial mapping, point counts and line transects as well as counts for specific groups such as nocturnal or colonial nesting birds. The text is backed up with diagrams and many real-life examples of techniques in action. After each chapter there is a section that summarises the main points covered and there are extensive references for anyone wishing to pursue the topic further. Overall this book is an invaluable source of accurate information for anyone involved in conducting bird surveys or carrying out research into birds.
