Volunteers are welcome to count for one day or many.
Volunteers are asked to be at the Hawk Watch by about 9 a.m. and to stay as long as possible. The number of birds seen each season is directly related to volunteer hours, so all who can are encouraged to count. Inexperienced birders can be paired with those who are more experienced counters until they are comfortable with the process. Currently we have official counters scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays througout the season. We are still looking for counters able to commit time on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
