Ruru hour and calls at other times

Kia ora citizen ruru,

Hope you've been enjoying ruru hour listening to the soothing hoots.

For those who are unclear, Citizen Ruru is a pilot research project, and hence the primary goal is to find out whether our 1-hour survey held at 9-10pm methodology works to understand ruru distribution.
If you carried out the 1-hour survey, select "Yes" in the project field "Is this observation part of your 1 hour survey?" when adding your observations.

However, any presence/absence observation is valued and can be logged in as a general casual observation in i-Naturalist or by simply selecting "No" in the project field "Is this observation part of your 1 hour survey?".

For more information on how to make observations:
Visit the Citizen Ruru webpage or read through this journal post "How to take observations on i-Naturalist app" .

All data is valuable, including any negative observations (meaning you did not hear any ruru during your survey hour), hence if you did a survey but did not hear any ruru, please fill out this Google Form.

For more details on the project or survey itself:
Go to the Citizen Ruru webpage or contact me at citizen.ruru@gmail.com

Cheers,
Mei.
