The annual spring Pacific Brown Pelican Survey will be held Saturday, Sept. 14.  Veterans of the survey are asked to step up again; new volunteers are welcomed. 

Organized by the Audubon Society, these surveys offer volunteers a chance to contribute to citizen science on a one-shot basis.  Volunteers are assigned specific sites (so it is essential to RSVP).  They monitor those sites for at least one hour during a four-hour period ending at dusk.  In Oregon, the hours 5-9 p.m. have been designated.  The sites range from Chetco Point on the south coast to Fort Stevens State Park at the extreme north.  Here is a link to the protocol you will use.  

 For information, to obtain a list of the sites, or to volunteer, contact Joe Liebezeit, Portland Audubon’s avian conservation manager, at jliebezeit@audubonportland.org, (971) 222-6121.
