Point counts of buds are the most widely used quantitative method
and involve an observer recording buds from a single point for a
standardized time period. In response to the need for
standardization of methods to monitor bird populations by census,
various investigators met in Maryland in late fall 1991 to evaluate
point counts. Their objectives were to present data from various
investigations working under a wide variety of conditions, and to
examine various aspects of point count methodology. This volume
contains the papers given at the workshop, as well as a few
additional relevant papers that subsequently have been submitted to
the technical coordinators. Statistical aspects of sampling and
analysis were discussed and applied to the objectives of point
counts. From this base, at interactive sessions the participants
discussed and agreed upon standards of point counts that should
have wide applicability to a variety of habitats and terrain. The
final chapter presents these standards and their applications to
point count methodology. Forest Service, US Department of
