I have a plan to survey waterbirds from January to February, so From where should i start, from the highest elevation of my study area or from the lowest?
I have conducted a similar survey before but in that survey, I have collected data from the highest elevation and lowest elevation alternatively so that I can cover both early and late arriving and departing migratory birds.
