The Southwestern Research Station, American Museum of Natural History, is located in Cave Creek Canyon of the Chiricahua Mountains a prime birding spot in North America. We currently have volunteer positions available for our spring season. Remainder of time is available to bird, hike, assist visiting scientists, in this biologically rich and very scenic area. This spring we have scientists studying Mexican Jays, Painted Redstarts, Whiskered Screech Owls, Mountain Spiny Lizards, and Horned Lizards. The Station provides room and board to volunteers.
Transportation is the volunteer's responsibility.
The National Capital Region is soliciting volunteers to implement the bird inventory portion of its Inventory and Monitoring Program. Volunteers inventory birds at select parks on a year-round basis using a standard protocol that is similar to one used for Breeding Bird Atlas projects. All participants will receive an information packet with a project description, datasheets, and maps. Datasheets can be turned in at the end of the field season or entered online. End December 2002.
