FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Shrike Study- NO GPS REQUIRED!

["Allan Trently" <ajtcorax@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After some concern over the strict requirment that a GPS was needed to 
report shrikes (for the shrike study I recently sent an email on.  The link 
below has the data sheets) to Nathan Klaus, he responded with the following 
letter:

Do you need a GPS unit to help with this survey?  No, actually.  I've
>>had a lot of requests by birders that want to help with shrike research
>>but that do not have a GPS unit.  In the interest of getting more
>>records, we will accept a photo copy of a Delorme Atlas map with dots on
>>it for where the two surveys  were conducted (where the shrike is and
>>where you conduct the second survey of unoccupied habitat at least 1
>>mile away, this is made clear on the data form).  Make sure you put
>>these dots as accurately as possible and make sure you indicate both
>>locations on the map.  So, for those of you who would like to help with
>>this survey, here again is the link to the data sheet.

>>Make sure you carry this in your car with you birding, shouldn't take
>>more than about 5 minutes to complete a form.  If you have any questions
>>please send me an e-mail.

>>Thanks,

>>PS. For those of you who are internet savvy there is a website where you
