Hello all,
Please see the following announcement from DC Audubon Society:
DC Audubon is happy to announce the 15th Annual Chesapeake & Ohio Canal
National Historical Park Midwinter Bird Survey. The count will be held on
Saturday, January 26, 2013. In case of inclement weather, the make-up date
will be Sunday, January 27. We hope you will consider volunteering to help
us with this unique, long-distance count.
As in previous years, volunteers will be asked to survey a 2-5 mile
section, tallying the number of individuals of each species that they see
for each mile (Note: without the use of multiple cars, surveying 5 miles
will require walking 10). After the count, you will be asked to report your
results electronically.
To participate, send an email to <canalcount...> with the following
information:
- Name & contact info (email & phone number)
- eBird username if you have one (if not, consider signing up)
- Which miles you would like to cover (see map here:
http://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/upload/chohparkmap.pdf)
We will respond within a few days to confirm your mile assignments and
provide detailed data entry instructions.
The canal is 184.5 miles long, requiring more than 60 volunteers. We are
always in need of new volunteers, so please spread the word to other
birders who might be interested in assisting with the count.
We hope to hear from you soon!
