Maine Audubon Seeks Volunteers to ID Forest Breeding Birds by Ear (from recordings & through point counts)

[Tracy Hart]

Maine Audubon is looking for skilled birders (volunteers) to help identify birds recorded with song meters last spring as part of our Forestry for Maine Birds Program. Do you “bird by ear” and have some time to spare? You can listen to recordings from your own home or here at Gilsland Farm. We’re also looking for help with forest point counts in late spring in a number of demonstration forests throughout the state. If you're interested in finding out more about these volunteer opportunities or have questions, please contact me (Tracy Hart) at th...@maineaudubon.org or (207) 781-2330 ext. 216. Your efforts will help Maine Audubon track forest birds' use of different forest habitat features and help improve recommendations for managing forests with "birds in mind."
