What is the best time to do a bird survey?

The ideal time of day to count birds in the breeding season is roughly one hour after sunrise until mid-morning (10-11am). This generally means starting your BBS survey at around 6-7am and ideally no later than 9am. Birds are generally most active at this time of day and most inactive in the early afternoon.

How to do a nesting bird survey?

Use a rangefinder and GPS to record nest sites, nests, bird roosting, transects, and observation points. It may be beneficial to mark the trees to identify nesting trees and in order to protect the trees from being cut down if vegetation clearing or other land alterations may be pursued in the area.

How does breeding bird survey work?

How Does the Breeding Bird Survey Work? Each year during the height of the avian breeding season, thousands of community scientists who are skilled in avian identification collect bird population data from roadside survey routes. Survey routes are roughly 25 miles long and are comprised of 50 point counts.

How long does a breeding bird survey take?

Each survey route is approximately 24.5 miles long with stops situated ideally 0.5-mile apart. At each stop, a 3-minute point count is conducted. During the count, every bird seen within a 0.25-mile radius or heard is recorded. Surveys start one-half hour before local sunrise and take about 5 hours to complete.

How do you conduct a nesting bird survey?

Nesting bird surveys include walking transects through a project area at intervals close enough to visually observe 100 percent of the habitat, and making stops to look and listen for birds around a buffer of the project area.
