Before leaving
- Sketch manageable decoy groups with purposeful open space.
- Separate observed feeding use from an assumed approach.
At the location
- Compare actual wind, visibility and position from a checked viewpoint.
- Change one layout feature; note the time and next comparable view.
Return
- Close the return check-in and collect equipment and waste.
- Retain the applicable bird-identification and transport records.
Review
- Choose one missing piece of evidence to check next time.
- Keep repeat views separate instead of inventing a unique-bird total.
A fictional observation example
Fictional example: two views each contain two Canada Goose. They may repeat the same birds; the notes do not establish four unique individuals.
