Bird tracks
Bird tracking provides a way to assess the habitat range and behavior of
animal tracking. A guide to bird tracking has been published.[1] Bird tracking is a tool used by naturalists to assess what birds are present in an ecosystem
even if the bird is rarely seen.
Data collection
In the Pacific Northwest of the United States, a program called NatureMapping collects data by educating the public and having them pool their data in a citizen science application. Data can be collected in the field using a handheld palm pilot and GPS system that streamlines the collection process. This free program is called CyberTracker. In order to make sure that data is reliable, a tracker evaluation system has been put in place through the CyberTracker organization.
