Scarborough Marsh Bird Monitoring – August

Join us for a marsh-wide bird survey at Scarborough Marsh to document the numbers of individuals and species of  birds that call the marsh home.  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).

The morning will start with a brief introduction to the marsh and the survey methods.  After that, monitors will disperse to their assigned sections, and actual surveys may last up to several hours (depending on location surveyed).  If people need to leave early we can make sure they are in a location that can accommodate that. Refreshments are provided.

Registration is appreciated.
