3. Habitat Sampling Changes Add interspersion index (such as Stewart and Kantrud 1971) Consider collecting azimuth information to better characterize bird locations (optional) Limit sampling to the third visit only Consider adding water depth as a variable Require the sampling of habitat information Contact newly added surveys to inform them about habitat data collection (and changes) Next Steps
