[Maine-birds] Bird Monitoring

 Want to do some birding at Maine's premier birding spot and help gather data on Maine's first Important Bird Area?  


 Join us on July 23 from 8 -11 and August 20 from 7-10 at Scarborough Marsh for a marsh-wide survey of birds to document the numbers of individuals and species.  Timed to catch the beginning of shorebird migration, each group of monitors will be assigned a portion of the marsh to survey.  Depending on the assignment, surveys may be done on foot, by car or from a canoe (provided at the marsh or bring your own). Beginning birders welcome!  They will go out with experienced monitors.  


 The morning will start with a brief introduction to the marsh and the survey methods.  After that, monitors will disburse to their assigned sections, and actual surveys may last up to several hours (depending on location surveyed).  

 

For more information and to register, call 883-5100 or e-mail smac@maineaudubon.org.


 Please help us by forwarding this to anyone think might by interested.
