Life forms: birds

Sampling methods: no design,mist nets

Sample size: 331 captures or sightings

Years: 2008

Sampling comments: "Between 16 and 27 of November 2008, wild birds were caught using 20 mist nets (12 m longx2 m wide, 36 mm mesh) displayed along human and animal trails within five forest areas (2 work-days per area). In each area, mist nets were left open from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the first day and from 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. on the second day, totalizing 1,700 net-hours for the whole study" (i.e., 1700 h/17 h over two days = 100 two-day periods)
