=========
AQUATIC COLONIAL BIRD SURVEYORS needed, mid May through mid July 2010.
The Klamath Bird Observatory (http://www.KlamathBird.org) is seeking
motivated individuals to survey marsh-nesting colonial birds in
south-central Oregon. Surveys will be done by vehicle, boat, and on
foot. Wading through marsh will be necessary on occasion. Surveyors
must have a field-worthy vehicle, valid driver’s license, and
binoculars. Qualified applicants will be in good physical condition
and have prior experience with fieldwork, including on and off-road
navigation, familiarity with GPS, meticulous data recording skills,
and the ability to identify aquatic birds. Must be able to work
independently or closely with others and have the ability to remain
focused during long days in inclement weather and biting insects.
Training will be provided. Pay $130/day plus mileage. To apply, send
cover letter, resume, and contact information for three references to
Karen Hussey at k...@KlamathBird.org, phone 541-282-0866. Please
include dates of availability and vehicle type in your cover letter
and whether you would be willing to work with another. If you have a
partner in mind, please indicate which applicant it is. Applicants
will be evaluated on a continual basis starting February 15th until
all positions are filled.
