Protocol: Traveling
2.7 kilometer(s)
Checklist Comments:    BBC trip.  Focused more on grassland birds than forest or other birds.  Didn’t find grasshopper sparrow.  Maybe should have spent more time around the spot we found it last year.  However the weather conditions allowed for sounds to travel quite well, so it seems like we would have heard it anyway.  In general, the trip leader likely missed a number of species and individuals.  Numbers are estimates.
