At the beginning of my research seasons, there is always stress due to the fact that I have NO IDEA how the survey areas will look when I arrive. The hope is that the vegetation is such that walking transects and looking for birds is "do-able." Sometimes, this is not the case, and then that site is lost for the season of data. Here are two pictures representing what I hope for (bottom) and, sometimes, what I get (top).
