...  APPENDIX G Visual counts can be used effectively for direct assessment of abundance for vertebrate pollinators, such as bats and hummingbirds. Mist nets can also be used to capture these flying vertebrates, and their density can be accurately estimated because the individuals are large enough to be banded or marked by some other method.
