Kolea Tracking


  Kolea Watch is for students (and everyone else) to do science (not just read about it).

      You can decide for yourself a lot of the "How To" questions -- think about what you want to know. Talk it over with your class. Ask yourself "What If" questions -- like "What if the birds are gone for three days and then come back?"

      Participating is easy. Simply count Kolea in the same place and time each day when the birds are getting ready to leave. The data is simple to collect, but the results can tell us a great deal about this bird! The study is open to everyone. By entering your data into the database, you can share your observations with everyone who shares an interest in Kolea. In the same manner, everyone's data is available for you to look over, analyze, muse over and try to develop your very own hypotheses and conclusions.

      Please look at the "Count Kolea" link before starting -- it has important information for the well-being of the birds.

1) Count Kolea: A few notes on what to look for, when to look and such.
     Count at the same place and time each day, write down counts.

2) Input Data: An online form for you to add your data to the database.
     (Or you can email your data to koleabird@hotmail.com)

3) See Data: Another form where you can look up data based on various
