Resumo: Diurnal variation in detection can influence bird census results. I measured variation in daily and seasonal detections of birds in a forest fragment at Barreiro Rico ranch, Anhembi, state of São Paulo. Birds were recorded on transects of unlimited distance, sampled one day per month, dawn to dusk, between December 2000 and March 2001 (rainy season) and between May and August 2001 (dry season). Significant daily variation in detection occurred during the rainy season, with most detections between dawn and 9 h. In the dry season detections declined for total numbers of individuals and species and most detections occurred during late morning and mid afternoon. Detection patterns might reflect seasonal variation in bird behavior rather than seasonal variation in species composition.
