Dr. Wilson,
Beginning spring, 2014, I plan to pick up the Port Royal route, #88010.
If you reckon I ought to reserve it now to avoid getting pre-empted, please
advise.
Thanks.

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<
http://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<http://www.nightjars.org>
website, see a map of available routes, log-in to adopt a route, and review
and print survey instructions.
