Bird Monitoring 8/27 Scarborough Marsh
Linda Woodard
Want to do some birding at Maine’s premier birding spot and help gather data on Maine’s first Important Bird Area?
Join us on August 27 (new Date) 7-10 at Scarborough Marsh for a marsh-wide survey of birds to
document the numbers of individuals and species. Timed to catch the
beginning of shorebird migration, each group of monitors will be
assigned a portion of the marsh to survey. Depending on the assignment,
surveys may be done on foot, by car or from a canoe (provided at the
marsh or bring your own). Beginning birders welcome! They will go out
with experienced monitors.
The
morning will start with a brief introduction to the marsh and the
survey methods. After that, monitors will disburse to their assigned
sections, and actual surveys may last up to several hours (depending on
location surveyed). If people need to leave early we can make sure they
are in a location that can accommodate that. Refreshments provided.
