Part of Unit II: Introduction to Wildlife Journaling (1 hr total for F-2.01–F-2.03) — Self-led Field Assignment Review the provided Field Observation Record and practice completing it for an observation. Fill in the information that is reasonably available; you are not expected to own specialized equipment or complete every field. Any fields about capture, collection, specimen transfer, measurements requiring handling, or similar activities are optional recordkeeping fields and are not course requirements. Do not handle an animal merely to fill in a blank. Be especially cautious with exact coordinates and private-property or sensitive-species locations. Precise information may be useful in a private record or when sharing with a trusted agency or researcher even when it should not be posted publicly.
This lesson is part of Certified Herpetological Guide. Enrollment is self-paced, with no deadline to finish (about 50 hours).
