Learn how to conduct nesting bird surveys through this hands-on training.

You’ll learn to:

• Translate observations into defensible field documentation
• Identify nest types in the field and determine whether a nest is active, inactive, or in progress—without disturbing the site
• Walk a compliant transect and document a nest find to a defensible standard: GPS coordinates, photo sequence, and datasheet entry
• Communicate a find to your PM: species, status, buffer, and whether work needs to stop 

Ideal for: Field biologists, environmental consultants, and resource managers responsible for pre-construction surveys or project compliance monitoring during nesting season.
