Sampling comments: "We installed 3 digital infrared Reconyx® (Holmen, WI) cameras in each of the 7 underpasses, including one at the entrance, one in the middle, and one at the exit... Underpasses were equipped with cameras from 1 October through 31 May for 3 years. The study period encompassed autumn migration (2008, 2009, and 2010), winter use, and spring migration (2009, 2010, and 2011)"
the study therefore spanned 243 days/season times 3 years = 729 days
