[Maine-birds] Fwd: FW: Invitation for ISS contributors: Wader Conservation World Watch

Hello birders! As the state shorebird biologist as of this spring, I invite you all to participate in an international effort this weekend to record all of your shorebirds sightings for the Wader Conservation World Watch.

https://www.waderquest.net/events/wader-conservation-world-watch/

Please read below for more details on the effort.

Here is a summary of recording details:

Why not join in? It's simple to take part, no registration, no counting (unless you wish to).

Simply go and see waders or shorebirds (birds of the suborder Charadrii).
Tell us what you saw, where and with whom you saw it, (send us photos if you have them) via email: wcww@waderquest.net OR share your eBird list(s) with user name WaderQuestTeam.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Let's get some Maine birders on that Roll of Honour next year!

Cheers,

Brad

Wader Conservation World Watch

An invitation for ISS

on 11/6/2021 & 11/7/2021

Conduct your survey for #WCWW8

Wader Conservation World Watch

Did you know in much of the world, shorebirds are called Waders? Since 2012 waderquest.net has been an advocate for waders and shorebirds across the globe, launching Wader Conservation World Watch #WCWW8 to highlight shorebirds and the problems they are facing and to celebrate the people involved in their conservation.

For the second year in a row, we want to invite you to join the celebration. Wader Quest asks all shorebird enthusiasts to find shorebirds on the first weekend in November. Conduct your ISS count that weekend and share your eBird checklist with "WaderQuestTeam" or send what you saw, where, and with whom, plus fun photos of birds or birders in action to wcww@waderquest.net. All shorebirds seen by ISS contributors on Nov 6 & 7 will be added to the WWCW totals, so cover your ISS sites!

STAND UP FOR WADER CONSERVATION AND SAY: I CARE!

¿Sabías que en gran parte del mundo las aves playeras con conocidas como "waders"? Desde el año 2012, waderquest.net ha sido un defensor de las aves playeras en todo el mundo, lanzando el Wader Conservation World Watch #WCWW8, para resaltar a las aves playeras y los problemas que ellas enfrentan, y también para celebrar a las personas involucradas en su conservación.

Wader Quest invita a todos los fanáticos de las aves playeras a que salgan a observarlas durante el primer fin de semana de noviembre. Queremos invitarte a que te unas a esta celebración, y que como voluntario ISS realices tu conteo durante ese fin de semana. También te invitamos a comparte que especies de aves playeras, dónde y con quién las viste ya sea en eBird con la cuenta "WaderQuestTeam" o envía un e-mail a wcww@waderquest.net. Todas las aves playeras observadas por los voluntarios de ISS durante el 6 y 7 de noviembre se sumarán a los totales de WWCW. Así que…únete y sal a cubrir tu sitio ISS!

¡GRACIAS!

Você sabia que as aves limícolas têm dois nomes em inglês? Nas Américas são conhecidas como "shorebirds" (aves de margens/costeira), enquanto em grande parte do mundo são chamadas de "waders" (aves pernaltas).

Desde 2012 a waderquest.net tem defendido as aves limícolas ao redor do mundo, lançando o Wader Conservation World Watch #WCWW8 para dar visibilidade às aves limícolas e aos problemas que enfrentam e também para celebrar as pessoas que trabalham pela sua conservação.

Queremos convidá-lo para participar desta celebração. O Wader Quest pede a todos os entusiastas de aves limícolas que procurem aves limícolas no primeiro fim de semana de novembro. Aproveite para fazer seu monitoramento ISS neste fim de semana, e depois compartilhe sua lista de verificação no eBird com a conta "WaderQuestTeam" ou você podera enviar um e-mail para wcww@waderquest.net com que você viu, onde e com quem. Não se esqueça daquelas fotos divertidas de aves e observadores! Todas as aves limícolas vistas pelos colaboradores do ISS em 6 e 7 de novembro serão adicionados aos totais da WWCW. Inclua o seu sítio - faça o ISS!
