  • Data Collection is for 8 weeks, Saturday through Friday, from 3/14/2009 to 5/8/2009.
  • Collect data twice per week.
  • Your listening location must not change from week-to-week, or year-to-year. If this is a problem for you, please contact Jamey.Decoske@mdc.mo.gov.
  • Collect data for 20 minutes, starting 45 minutes before sunrise and ending 25 minutes before sunrise.
  • Winds should be 15 mph or less and it should not be raining.
  • Listeners should not call or owl hoot to encourage gobbling.
  • The statistical validity of our data relies on observers closely following protocol. This is not a contest for counting the most gobbles or gobblers. The best data are those collected exactly between 45 and 25 minutes before sunrise, from the same location, every week, every year. If you cannot follow the protocol each time, please continue to collect data, and note in the comments exactly what you did.
