Survey Datasheets

Here are your survey datasheets for the 2012 coastal waterbird season! If you scan to the bottom of this post you can find them in .PDF form. They are below in .jpg form (images) that you can then print out and take into the field whenever you need. You can download these images to your computer for printing in two ways. First, if you click on the images below a larger version of the image will be displayed on your screen. If you right-click this larger image and select save image as you can store it to your computer for printing and viewing - make sure you will be able to find where you put it, such as in a downloads folder or on your desktop.

The first datasheet is for Piping Plovers and American Oystercatchers:

The second is for Least Terns and Common Terns:

The third is for long-legged waders, shorebirds, and other species we would like documented if they are seen breeding. It also includes a simple disturbance form to fill out for our own information. This is not a replacement for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service disturbance protocols or forms which should be filled out as a priority and returned promptly.

The fourth is more information concerning breeding bird survey codes that we utilize in surveying the birds listed in the previous datasheet:

Alternatively, you can download each image directly by opening and saving the .jpg image files listed in the links below, or directly right-clicking to save them:

You can do the same here with these .PDF versions which require Adobe Reader:
