Find and read the species account for your animal. Acquaint yourself with the species' ecology and natural history, including your animal's habitat requirements and seasonal patterns. If your project involves watching multiple species, choose at least one you know you will observe, although, you will likely profit from looking up species accounts for more than one species.
TIP: You might need to search with both the common or English-language name and the Latin or scientific name.
Visit a site appropriate to your study species' taxa.
READ AND NOTE: Read the species account to gather details about habits, needs, and patterns. It might help to download and save or copy & print the species account for easy access to this vital information throughout your project.
