Despite perpetual winter here in the north the 2014 Western Great Lakes Owl Survey is drawing near, with observers conducting a single nighttime survey of their roadside routes in MN and WI between April 1 and 15. Although returning volunteers have scooped up many of the WI routes, I could use some help filling those that remain open. Visit the survey's website below to view route availability and locations and to sign up. http://wiatri.net/projects/birdroutes/owls.htm All new surveyors must pass a brief online certification procedure via the owl page above prior to their survey. Routes will be assigned first-come, first-serve but keep in mind I need to manually approve your request so it may take a few days before the map symbol changes from green (available) to red (assigned). As such it's possible that a route shows as green even if someone else has already requested it. You will receive an email reply from me one way or another to let you know if the route is yours or you need to select an alternative. Thanks for your interest in this survey!
