Subject: [RV Birds] Shorebird Surveyors Still Needed-Coos Bay
To: Rogue Valley Birds <rv-birds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
*Calling All Shorebird Enthusiasts and Citizen Scientists!*
The Pacific Flyway Shorebird Survey (PFSS) is still looking for citizen
science volunteers to conduct shorebird surveys in *Coos Bay, Oregon! * The
survey has been rescheduled and will now take place on* January 13th, 2016
and there is still a need for surveyors! *
The Pacific Flyway Shorebird Survey is a multi-partner project, led by
Point Blue Conservation Science; the survey depends on citizen science
effort to help protect shorebirds and wetlands all the way from Canada to
Mexico. This year Klamath Bird Observatory is assisting with the
coordination of surveys at Coos Bay, Oregon.
*Time Commitment: ~1-2 days**:*
1. *Review*: Learn the protocol and training techniques
2. *Scouting*: Become familiar with your site; make sure you know the
access points and how long it will take to cover the area.
3. *Survey*: One survey on *January 13th, 2016 from 9:00am-11:00am*
4. *Data Entry*: Surveyors will enter their data online into the
California Avian Data Center.
*The best candidates for the project will:*
1. Be confident with their shorebird identification
2. Have their own binoculars and scope (some scopes are available to
borrow if needed) and possess reliable transportation
3. Be physically able to walk long-distances carrying a scope and
tripod in muddy and often inclement conditions
4. Be willing to follow a protocol to count birds
5. Be comfortable entering data online into California Avian Data
Center
6. Have a passion for and dedication to shorebird conservation
