\"IBA-logo<\/a>Regularly surveyed IBA routes are now only surveyed 4 times a year with an optional 5th survey in winter. All surveys are transects, we are no longer regularly conducting point counts. The following schedule is designed for a mid-elevation area in southern Arizona. There are locations that have a tailored schedule or survey type. If you believe your route would benefit from a different schedule or protocol, please let one of the two IBA offices know.<\/p>\n
