- The page distinguishes state survey methods and notes that South Dakota's brood-survey series ends in 2019.
Field notes
The methodology page distinguishes state survey instruments rather than treating their raw counts as directly interchangeable. It says each series is normalized against its own ten-year mean; South Dakota's brood survey ended in 2020, leaving no abundance index there after 2019. Iowa's notes also flag survey-morning dew and sun, and the page says a formal detection correction was introduced in 2026.
