Ditto what Alan stated above, I couldn't find another suitable email. But I
would be interested in the Linn County Unit 1 if it's still available.
Thanks,

I apologize for having to use the OBOL list for this message, but there
were no other emails in your message except public ones or a "noreply" one.

HI Everyone,
It is getting that time of year when raptors are at the forefront of my
world :) As coordinator for the East Cascades Audubon Society's Winter
Raptor Survey Project I have been working the last few weeks to see which
routes I will need new volunteers for this coming winter. I would like to
advertise the following routes needing a warm body this winter:
Clackamas
Linn County Unit 1
Cottage Grove
Roseburg North
Myrtle Creek - Riddle
Cave Junction
Klamath Marsh
Pendleton
Hwy 20 Harper to Juntura
Juntura
For those participating in this project, surveys are completed once a
month for the months of December, January and February. A participant
should have at least a pair of binoculars to get close looks at birds to
identify them to species and if you have a spotting scope even better. You
should feel comfortable with identifying the more common species of raptors
such as Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, Northern Harriers,
Rough-legged Hawks, and Bald Eagles. Together these species account for
more than 90% of the birds counted on these surveys. Over the course of
the 11 seasons that this project has been active, 30 species of birds of
prey have been recorded so awareness of other species makes this project
that more exciting :)
Depending on the length of the survey routes, these surveys can last 4-7
hours. If you respond for a particular route, I can give you much more
specific information about length, species seen already, average time
needed to complete surveys, and other bits of information that will help
you decide for sure if you wish to take this on for the winter. We have a
few weeks left before the effort officially begins so I have time to get
you set up for the action. If any of these routes seem appealing to you,
please email me and I will get you set up. This project has just over 250
routes throughout the four state area (OR,ID,WA,CA) surveyed by nearly 200
volunteers covering more than 15,000 miles of transects so you would be
joining a very large and active citizen science project! I hope to fill
all of these vacant routes for this winter, I will fill them on a first
come first served basis so hope to hear from you soon!
