Abstract

ABSTRACT This study describes a new method for counting breeding Purple Herons Ardea purpurea on a large wetland complex (Po Delta, Italy) using Google Earth satellite imagery in comparison to traditional ground counts in 2017. Google Earth counts provide an accurate, rapid, and inexpensive method for estimating the breeding population of Purple Herons, both saving time and increasing count accuracy in comparison to ground counts.

一种使用谷歌地球调查紫鹭-紫鹭群落的新方法

摘要本研究描述了一种新的方法，与2017年的传统地面计数相比，该方法使用谷歌地球卫星图像对大型湿地综合体（意大利波三角洲）的繁殖紫鹭-紫鹭进行计数。谷歌地球计数为估计紫鹭繁殖种群提供了一种准确、快速、廉价的方法，与地面计数相比，既节省了时间，又提高了计数精度。

期刊介绍： Bird Study publishes high quality papers relevant to the sphere of interest of the British Trust for Ornithology: broadly defined as field ornithology; especially when related to evidence-based bird conservation. Papers are especially welcome on: patterns of distribution and abundance, movements, habitat preferences, developing field census methods, ringing and other techniques for marking and tracking birds. Bird Study concentrates on birds that occur in the Western Palearctic. This includes research on their biology outside of the Western Palearctic, for example on wintering grounds in Africa. Bird Study also welcomes papers from any part of the world if they are of general interest to the broad areas of investigation outlined above. Bird Study publishes the following types of articles: -Original research papers of any length -Short original research papers (less than 2500 words in length) -Scientific reviews -Forum articles covering general ornithological issues, including non-scientific ones -Short feedback articles that make scientific criticisms of papers published recently in the Journal.
