Incidental Wildlife Observations
Incidental observations are
detections of species by individuals or groups either incidental to
the main objective of a project or outside of the context of a formal
project. They are important because they provide a additional wildlife
information not found in formal surveys. Anyone observing wildlife
is encouraged to contribute incidental observations to our database.
| For large collections of
incidental observations: |
| Step 1. Use the WSI data
template. Complete the project metadata and the incidental observations
worksheets. |
|
| Step 2. Send us the data collection
by registering and submitting the completed template as a project.

|
|
For smaller numbers of
observations:
|
| Use the Online Wildlife
Sighting Form |
|
A complete description of each field on the
wildlife sighting form can be downloaded
here. The following fields of the form require data:
- Name of Recorder
- E-mail (not mandatory, but this is the most efficient way
for us to contact you regarding your observation)
- Date
- Species
- Number (of individuals seen)
- Location Description (or UTM in NAD83). The
standard georeference is UTM based on NAD83. If you have a UTM in
NAD27, please indicate this in the Comments field.
Other optional fields may require
knowledge of provincial ecological
classification systems. Fill all fields that you can complete.
