The common methods are described in detail, and illustrated through an abundance of diagrams showing examples of actual and theoretical census studies. Anyone planning a census of birds in the wild should be able to select the method best suited to the study in hand, and apply it to best effect within the limits inherent in it and the constraints of the particular study."--Jacket.
