Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Protection: nature reserve

Methods
Life forms: birds

Sampling methods: no design,mist nets

Sample size: 221 individuals

Years: 2002

Net or trap nights: 148

Sampling comments: sampling was from 21 August to 3 September 2002
"Birds were captured in mist nets (20 - 36 mm mesh, 6 - 12 m long). A variable number of nets were used, up to 34 at any one time... They were left open all day and night (daylight hours were approximately 06:15 - 19:15)... Netting effort was 3,560 net-hours... short nets counted proportionally compared with 12 m nets" (approximate number of net days is 3560/24 = 148)
