[ODFWMarineReserves] Volunteer Opportunity – Seabird Research Study

[Cristen Don]

Volunteer Opportunity – Seabird Research Study
The Audubon Society of Portland is starting up a citizen science project to monitor seabird nesting colonies adjacent to the recently designated Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve.  Audubon is looking for volunteers that would “adopt” a colony and monitor a subset of nests to determine hatching success of chicks.

Study species:  Near-shore fish eating seabirds (cormorants, Common Murre, etc.)
Where:  Heceta Head and Sea Lion Caves (potentially other seabird colonies in the Cape Perpetua area)
When:  May to early August 2014
Minimum commitment:  Twice a month (probably a 3-4 hours each visit). They’ll work with you to make it fit to your schedule.
Other requirements:  Patience and a love for birds!  They’ll have some scopes available for use but best if you have your own.
How to volunteer: If this sounds interesting to you please contact Joe Liebezeit at jliebezeit at audubonportland.org<mailto:jliebezeit at audubonportland.org>
