Before leaving
- Name the dry-field entry and searchable recovery space.
- Prepare individual-identification references with the field kit.
At the location
- Follow one individual across useful views; retain identity uncertainty.
- Compare the layout with actual wind and available working space.
Return
- Close the return check-in and collect equipment and waste.
- Use the reviewed bird-care sequence and retain required identity evidence.
Review
- Choose one missing piece of evidence to check next time.
- Treat a better view of the same bird as new evidence, not another bird.
A fictional observation example
Fictional example: one bird remains continuously visible across two views. The second view improves the evidence; it does not add a second individual.
