Join us 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!

The morning will start with a brief introduction. After that, monitors will disburse to their assigned sections.

This volunteer monitoring project is made possible through a grant from TogetherGreen. Audubon and Toyota came together to create TogetherGreen to fund volunteer projects all over the United States.
