Plot data from Buzzard Roost Project Area, June 1998. 

Deuchars area, Oriole Trail- east loop 

from 2-arrow tree, keep right; 500', then every 1000' 

The survey used a point count survey route beginning at the point where the trail forks along the 

Perry/Crawford County line about 3/4 mile west of Deuchars, Monitoring sites were established at 

approximately 1,000-foot intervals heading counter-clockwise around the loop of the trail, the first 

being 500 feet from the fork. In total, there are 22 monitoring points around the loop. 

Each point was visited twice during the breeding season (June 21 and June 27). Each species heard 

or seen and their numbers were recorded for each site.
