> Subject: Marshbird Monitoring Protocol
> 
> Attached is a monitoring protocol for secretive marshbirds that is being
> developed by Dr. Courtney Conway (Arizona Cooperative Fish and Wildlife
> Research Unit) as an outgrowth of the national marshbird monitoring
> workshop held several years ago (see http://www.mp2-pwrc.usgs.gov/marshbird
> ).  He is seeking cooperators who are interested in using this protocol and
> contributing their data so that he can investigate several issues related
> to marshbird monitoring.
> The protocol is designed to test some of the lingering questions related to
> marshbird monitoring, e. g., for which species is call broadcast effective?
> What is the detection probability associated with passive and
> call-broadcast surveys?  How many points are necessary to obtain sufficient
> power to detect population trends?
> 
> If you are interested in helping with this project, please contact Dr.
> Conway at 520-626-8535 or cconway@Ag.Arizona.Edu.  He is able to provide
> you with CDs or tapes containing the calls of marshbirds in your area,
> should you need them.
