Counting on the sheet
Use the tally boxes for separate periods or stops, for example four ten-minute counts, or for separate habitats along a transect. Write the total in the last box. Birds not on the sheet go at the bottom.
Counting on a phone
In the Tick off tab, each tap adds one to a bird’s count and the minus button takes one away. Set the protocol, start and end time and observers under Trip details; they are written into the eBird export, where duration is worked out from your start and end times.
