Survey Tools

We are currently working with statisticians from USGS – Patuxent Wildlife Research Center to develop a scientifically sound study of known and potential sites.  Our goal is to use existing methodologies such as those used to survey Snowy Plovers along the Pacific Coast.

We will post the protocol(s) on this page once they are completed

Identification Tools and Biological Information:

• Patuxent Wildlife Research Center – id tips, BBS and CBC trends
• Cornell Lab of Ornithology – sound recordings, life history, habitat, range map
• eBird – Post your observations online.
