A method for sampling birds that typically involves one of more observers standing at a point in space marking observations of birds detected by sight and sound over a period of time. Detection times are often subdivided into 3, 5 and 10 minutes blocks. An estimate of distance between the observer(s) and bird is often made. Detections are sometimes recorded by species and other times by individual. Detections are sometimes recorded as the first o...
