PUB Crawl!
Dictionary.com defines Pub Crawl as “to have drinks at one bar after another”. Here Pub Crawl aptly describes the slow process of publishing Coastal Raptors’ research findings in the scientific literature. It’s common for long-term monitoring such as ours to employ years of data and involve multiple co-authors. This process takes time!
Below are peer-reviewed publications from coastal raptors research, a book chapter on raptor marking techniques, and recent editions of TIDEings, the Coastal Raptors’ newsletter. For pdf copies, see “Click here” for each below.
