Bird Conservancy of the Rockies IMBCR story map

[Matt Webb]

Hey all,

Bird Conservancy of the Rockies science team has just released a new ArcGIS Story Map that explains and describes our Integrated Monitoring of Bird Conservation Regions (IMBCR) program.  

I figured this story map might be of interest to birders in the state and in the region.  Please take some time to check out the interactive story map here: https://birdconservancy.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Cascade/index.html?appid=bf23599f073b4d8b97f876283dbb3ffa

The IMBCR program is our largest annual field effort, and provides opportunities for new and old biologists and birders to participate in our work, often in very remote and exciting places.  Keep your eye on our Careers page (https://www.birdconservancy.org/about-us/employment/) for opportunities to participate in this project and others!

(Full Disclosure: I am on the Science team, but not involved in the IMBCR project.  I did, however, spend a season as an IMBCR technician back in 2012, and will always remember what an incredible season that was!)

Thank you Matt, for posting this link and to BCR for all you do for wildlife.

I think it's important for everyone to know that funding from the USDA Forest Service for IMBCR is not a given each year in the Rocky Mountain Region. If anyone wants to contact the Regional Forester and share your thoughts about the program and the agency's continued support for it you can do that here... https://www.fs.usda.gov/contactus/r2/about-region/contactus.
