Whats new with phenophase status in Spring 2011?
Up to now, you have been reporting ‘y’ if you saw that a phenophase was occurring, ‘n’ if you saw that a phenophase was not occurring, and ‘?’ if you were uncertain whether the phenophase was occurring or if you did not check for the phenophase. We have made a slight change for the last condition. If you checked for a phenophase and were not sure whether is was occurring or not, report ‘?’. If you did not even look or listen to check whether the phenophase was occurring, do not select any of the choices and leave them all uncircled.
