Description
Summary:The relative abundance of species is recorded as the number of individuals seen per hour spent in the field per observer. Each observer record daily the animal species encountered in the field and the number of individuals observed. To correct for any potential biases the activities and mode of transportation of observers is also taken into account. We also monitor the nests of bird species that are not part of our long-term monitoring and are found opportunistically, such as King Eider, Long-tailed Duck and Red-throated Loon. : Purpose: Monitoring the occurence of all tundra species encountered daily : Summary: Not Applicable
