Purabi and I had done some analyses on the 2016 waterbird and habitat survey data which we think would be relevant to the survey under planning this year. While bird identities are clearly defined in ornithology today, the recognition of habitat states and parameters requires a good deal of clarity and working on. There needs to be minimum threshold levels to be adhered to while considering a parameter to be present, and that such factors need to be seen during the survey and not assumed. The criticality would matter more when there is presence-absence data. Could our data have been better?
So here it is and hope it helps.
