Annotation -
Please note, the lectures are given in Czech language. English version of the course can be requested in advance if there
are at least 3 students. The field course is aimed at birds of typical habitats of Trebonsko Biosphere Reserve and its
acoustic and visual identification. Identification of birds is further used by application of methods of bird census (mapping
method, point census, line transect, investigation of individually marked birds). Methods of catching and marking of birds
also presented. At least one day of the course will be aimed at training field research activities of paricipants.

Learning outcomes -

After completing the course, the student:

· characterizes the main types of biotopes of the Třeboň Basin and describes their typical avifauna, including the relationship of species to the environment and the season.

· determines common bird species in the field based on visual signs and vocalizations and applies these skills in independent field work.

· uses basic methods of determining the abundance of wild birds, especially the mapping method, point counting, line transect and monitoring of color-marked individuals, and explains the principles of their use and limitations.

· practically participates in the field collection of data on the occurrence and abundance of birds and cooperates in a team in the implementation of quantitative ornithological research.

· gains basic experience with bird trapping, including the manipulation of individuals caught in impact nets, and understands the ethical, legislative and methodological principles of bird trapping.

· processes and evaluates field data on the abundance and species composition of birds using basic analytical procedures and interprets the obtained results.

· critically evaluates the suitability of individual methods for determining bird abundance with respect to the type of environment, target species and research objective.

· connects field observations, quantitative data and ecological context in interpreting the structure and dynamics of bird communities.
