#' Cue counts of whale blows
#'
#' Cues are treated as an indirect count, requiring the use of multipliers.
#'
#' Because whale blows disappear instantaneously, there is no need to measure a
#' decay rate. However a cue production rate (blows per individual per unit
#' time) is required, as is a measure of variability of that rate.

#' to scan the sea all around them as view may be restricted by the ship's

#' Savanna sparrow point transects

#'
#' Design consisted of point transects placed in multiple pastures (3 in 1980
#' and 4 in 1981). While many species were observed, only data for Savannah
#' sparrows (*Passerculus sandwichensis*) are included here.
#'
