After all, the problems are pretty clear, aren’t they? So, once in a while, it is a good idea to stop and smell the roses, as the old adage goes. And what a difference a decade has made to the manner in which monitoring is becoming integral to evaluations of cause and effect in the dynamics of bird populations. Although still too often presented as somehow different from research, “bird monitoring ... should first involve clearly defining, quantitatively, the information required for management, conservation and decision-making, in the context of an adaptive management cycle ...” (Francis et al. 2009). In short, which questions are most in need of answers so that potential harm to bird populations can best be effectively and efficiently mitigated?
