Bihu Bird Count: Analysing collaborative counting

Bihu Bird Count (BBC) is an triannual event conducted by Assam Bird Monitoring Network. As the name suggests, the bird count is conducted during Bihu. As we head towards Kati Bihu, we are launching the results of previous bird count — Bohag Bihu Bird Count. But what exactly is a bird count ? Bird count is a process where the user records the count of species of bird seen and/or heard at a particular location. With a network of volunteers doing the same process across an entire region , it gives an good overview of the bird species of the region. To reduce the risk of duplicate reporting during BBC , the observations are recorded against a checklist (SAMPLING EVENT IDENTIFIER). Each checklist can belong to one or multiple people. If a checklist belonging to multiple people, a GROUP IDENTIFIER is assigned. For all individuals a OBSERVER ID is assigned. <a href="https://medium.com/@jyotiplaban/bihu-bird-count-analysing-collaborative-counting-743bc93b555a">Visit Now</a>
