2013 Dinosaur Ridge HawkWatch citizen science program

[Jeff Birek]

Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory is seeking volunteers for its HawkWatch citizen science program.

Volunteers are needed to collect data on raptor migrations at the HawkWatch site on Dinosaur Ridge, located in the Dakota Hogback Natural Area outside Morrison, Colo., at least one day every two weeks from March 1 through mid-May. No previous experience is necessary; the only requirement is that volunteers have an interest in raptors.

Training sessions will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Feb. 19 at the Dinosaur Ridge Visitor Center, 16831 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, Colo.; and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 23 at the HawkWatch site on Dinosaur Ridge. If interested, individuals are asked to RSVP for the training sessions by Feb. 15 by contacting me at 970-482-1707 ext. 25 or jeff....@rmbo.org. If you are unable to attend the training sessions, I encourage you to visit the site during the season. The peak of raptor activity is usually in the first week of April.

Founded in 1988, Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory is a Colorado-based nonprofit that works to conserve birds and their habitats from Montana to Mexico through science, education and stewardship.

Thank you,
