"It provides a concise guide to the most widely used census techniques, with detailed description of methodologies and discussion of the advantages and shortcomings association with each method. The guide is well illustrated with explanatory diagrams and is referenced to the scientific literature on the subject...An essential reference for anyone engaged in bird census studies." - NORTHEASTERN NATURALIST "This guide to the various techniques used to count wild birds is relevant to ornithological field researchers, both amateur and professional, and ecologists and conservation biologists undergoing census studies of wild bird populations. The advantages, limitations and applications of each technique are discussed in detail." ETHOLOGY (January 2002) "...an important and substantial update of an extremely valuable book. It is a 'must' for any bird-surveyors, volunteer and professional alike, who do not have the first edition--and probably also for those of you who do have." Juliet Vickery in BRITISH BIRDS (July 2001)
