Subject: [LABIRD-L] Nightjar Surveys 2013

The 7th year of the Nightjar Survey Network is kicking off soon with
survey dates in April for southern portions of the United States and
later dates in May and June for other areas.  This will be the first
entire season with the new survey website www.nightjars.org.  The new
website provides an opportunity for volunteers and the general public to
work more interactively with nightjar survey data, adopt survey routes
online, enter data, view past survey years, and receive noteworthy
Nightjar Survey news items.

The Nightjar Survey Network is a program designed to collect information
on the population distribution and trends of nightjars, such as
whip-poor-wills, chuck-will's-widows, common poorwills, and others.
Data collected also provide clues to factors that influence their
abundance and help to plot a course fir their conservation (see
http://www.nightjars.org/survey-news/nightjar-survey-network-investigate
-the-influence-of-landscape-composition-on-nightjar-populations/).

Since 2007, 564 volunteers have surveyed 695 routes and have counted
over 12,000 nightjars.  We are always in need of additional volunteers
to survey routes.  Nightjar survey routes are composed of 10 stops,
spaced one mile apart, and can be completed in less than 2hrs.

If interested in helping out collecting data that can help conserve
nightjar species, visit the www.nightjars.org website, see a map of
available routes, log-in to adopt a route, and review and print survey
instructions.
