The number of observation periods refers to the number of 1 h systematic observations performed at each site throughout the field season.

b

Species detected refers to the total number of species detected at each site over the course of the field season.

c

Birds observed refers to the total number of individual birds observed at each site over the course of the field season, for all distance classes.

d

Families detected refers to the number of families detected at each site, otherwise known as species richness.

e

Exposed species indicates the total number of high-risk species out of the 14 indicated that detected in D1 and D2, at that site, over the field season.

f

Per cent of species exposed indicates the percentage of the total birds detected at each site, that fell into the high-risk species category, and were detected in D1 and D2.
