HI Everyone,
As you recall, last month, the East Cascades Audubon Society rolled out a
new interactive map that displayed the results of our January 2016 raptor
surveys. I would like to announce the release of a second new map that
displays the results of our February 2016 raptor surveys. I invite you to
visit the ECAS website ( ecaudubon.org) to view both maps and see the
numbers of birds found on each route as well as the distribution and
population densities for the most prevalent species throughout the state.
When you get to the web site, click on the Project section of the top tool
bar then click on Winter Raptor Survey. That will then display two raptor
silhouette buttons that you can click to see the two maps. You can open
both files at once and click back and forth on the file tabs to see
comparisons for the two months :) These maps are the result of more than
225 volunteers doing monthly surveys from November through March on 270
routes throughout Oregon, Idaho, the Columbia River area of Washington and
the California portion of the Klamath Basin covering more than 16,000 miles
of survey transects. We are currently working on the map that will display
the results of our December surveys. Efforts are also underway to
incorporate all the route data in Idaho (96 routes as of this winter) into
these maps and hope to get that accomplished by early summer. Feel free to
invite your friends to visit the ECAS website and also feel free to release
this announcement on any list serve you belong to to spread the word,
thanks :) Please take a few minutes to peruse the maps and if you have any
questions or suggestions after your review, please feel free to email me.
Enjoy! :)
