Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – January 14, 2020 <br />survey methods and when we did it. Um, just some pictures of some of the <br />birds that are available for hunting in Kapapala and on Mauna Kea: quail, <br />urkel, turkeys, a couple of different franklins, some Kalij. So our study sites <br />are Mauna Kea Forest Reserve and the Kaohe Game Management Area. We <br />combine them together into one unit pretty much for our surveys and then <br />Kapapala – which the yellow dot on that is Mauna Kea and the green dot is <br />Kapapala. Just a little bit about the transects that we walked. In Kapapala we <br />had 73 transects – each transect is one kilometer – a little more than ½ a mile <br />per transects and then on Mauna Kea we had 68 transects that we selected <br />to do surveys and on Mauna Kea specifically we copied our pallia transects. <br /> <br />?: You going off of the pamphlet... <br /> <br />KS: I’m going... Well, this... <br /> <br />?: Yeah? <br /> <br />KS: ....is the same things as that. <br /> <br />?: You can give ‘em to us because it’s kinda... <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, yeah, kinda hard... <br /> <br />?: ....we cannot see the... <br /> <br />KS: Sorry. Thank you. So in Kapapala we designated 73 transects – 73 kilometers <br />– on Mauna Kea it was 68 transects – 68 kilometers – and, again, we walked <br />in the fall and in the spring. And then that table is just a list of the species <br />available for us to potentially see and count. Those are the transects that we <br />walked in Kapapala and then the next one are the transects that we walked <br />on Mauna Kea. So our results – the first in the fall we walked all 73 transects <br />in Kapapala with dogs and all 73 without dogs. And then on Mauna Kea we <br />did 43 with dogs and 54 without dogs. Mauna Kea – we kinda learned quickly <br />that it was a lot harder to walk than we thought it would be and so it took <br />longer to do one transect than we anticipated and we were kinda hoping for <br />maybe 25 to 30 minutes a transects and it took closer to an hour per t – <br />sometimes more. <br /> <br />TN: Excuse me Kanalu? <br /> <br />KS: Yes? <br /> <br />TN: Could you throw out some numbers – the number of birds you’ve seen in the <br />area in your transects? <br /> <br />KS: Yeah, I’m getting there... <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
