Hi Folks,

I'm interested in learning about the experiences of anyone who may have used playback for surveying boreal-nesting shorebirds, as well as other techniques that you may have used (atlassing, aerial surveys, point counts and so on). I'm trying to build a repertoire of techniques that could be used this coming field season in Ontario (Canada) to improve our capacity to determine status and trends, among other questions, of species like Solitary Sandpiper, both yellowlegs, and both dowitchers that nest in low density across the boreal forest.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Christian
