Afternoon Tn-birders
Oh behalf of David Hanni, TWRA Conservation Bird Coordinator I¹d like to
share the following announcement:
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is conducting a statewide colonial
waterbird survey in 2016 and they need your help. TWRA recently conducted
aerial surveys of the major reservoirs and rivers throughout the state to
document locations of colonial waterbird colonies (i.e. herons, cormorants,
egrets, etc.). They are now in the process of compiling a list of all known
waterbird colonies in the Tennessee that have been documented by groups and
individuals. If you know of the location of a colonial waterbird colony
please contact David Hanni (david.hanni@xxxxxx). The information provided
will help document a more comprehensive picture of the status and
distribution of colonial waterbirds throughout the state.
So while you¹re out and about this spring looking for migrants, or boating
or fishing on TN many rivers and lakes please take note of any waterbird
coloniesthe latitude and longitude would be great, but directions or
location name will also work. Then send the information to David. Also
spread the word among non-birders you know. The more eyes the better out
there looking and reporting. This is a great opportunity for some citizen
science as well as a cooperative partnership.
Thanks for helping out!!
Cheers!
