Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This was a side-project of the Carrizo Ecosystem Project where two observers independently surveyed precincts of the Federally Endangered Giant kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ingens) on 10 plots in the Carrizo Plain National Monument, San Luis Obispo County, California. The goals were to note the bias between observers, to determine if the number of active precincts correlate with the current population density estimates, and to determine if indexing Giant kangaroo rat (GKR) precincts is a reliable method for determining the current GKR population status.
