OBOL I am posting this for my friends Peter and Pam Hayes at Hyla Woods. They are seeking volunteers for their ongoing bird count program. Their forests are in the Coast Range in the northern part Yamhill County and in Washington County. Hyla Woods forests are managed with a focus on restoration and enhancement using Forest Stewardship Certified and Wildwood standards. You can find more information at http://hylawoods.com. They are seeking a volunteer “lead birder” to conduct point counts on two mornings this spring. Volunteers should be able to conduct point counts including indentifiying local birds by ear using songs, calls, sounds, etc. The counts will be done as a team with the volunteer leading in the bird identification. Counts are scheduled in pairs of dates with the first date of each pair being the primary monitoring day and the 2nd in the pair being a backup day in case of rain. They will will only monitor on one day of each pair. Counts begin at 5am and end at about 7:30 after which you will be treated to breakfast. Walking on forest trails and roads is required. Dates are Mon/Tue May 19/20 and for Wed/Thu June 5/6. Volunteers can do one date or both.
