But few of the woodpeckers along the flight path of the helicopter actually flush, making this an ineffective way to search.&#8221; Researchers estimated that the survey team missed 90% or more of Pileated Woodpeckers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"word-spacing: 0px; font: 12px\/16px Georgia; text-transform: none; color: rgb(61,61,61); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2\">Project scientist Martjan Lammertink said that ground teams of six searchers were just as efficient as the helicopter crew at finding Pileated Woodpeckers. However, an advantage of ground teams is that they &#8220;can do other things &#8211; conduct playbacks, look for cavities and feeding sign, and count other bird species of interest.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"word-spacing: 0px; font: 12px\/16px Georgia; text-transform: none; color: rgb(61,61,61); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2\">The TBRC often receives recommendations to use a variety of unconventional approaches to document the sasquatch.
