Forward message from
Sergio Harding
It's that time of year again when we begin recruiting for volunteers
to help fill vacant routes of the North American Breeding Bird Survey
(BBS). The BBS is the longest-running North American breeding landbird
survey, and is invaluable to the bird conservation community for
tracking the status and trends of breeding bird populations. If you
have good eyesight and hearing (including the ability to hear
high-pitched vocalizations), good bird identification skills by both
sight and sound, access to suitable transportation to complete the
survey, and can commit to running the survey for at least 2 years (but
preferably longer), please consider picking up a route. The location
of vacant routes can be viewed at
http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/BBS/results/routemaps/virginia.cfm?CountryNum=840&StateNumber=88.
For an interactive route map, see
http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/results/routemaps/routeAssignMap.cfm.
For information on the BBS, please visit the website at
http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/. The VA BBS depends entirely on
volunteers for its continued success. Thanks to all of you who have
participated or are currently participating in the BBS - your efforts
are appreciated.
