If you like to watch birds and care about their welfare, here’s a chance to study seabirds and contribute to science. Volunteers are needed to monitor seabird nesting colonies near the Cape Falcon Marine Reserve and Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach to track nesting success on the coast. This effort provides baseline information on Oregon’s seabird population and increases awareness of Oregon’s marine reserves. The survey project is being organized by the Audubon Society of Portland, the Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, and the Haystack Rock Awareness Program.
A training session is being held on Sunday, June 3, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., in the Cannon Beach City Hall (163 E. Gower Ave.)
Volunteers are needed to conduct weekly surveys from the week of June 11 until the end of August. The minimum commitment is twice montly (each session lasting 2-5 hours). There is flexibility to enable you to fit the surveying into your schedule.
To learn more about the training event or the survey project, or to RSVP if you will attend the training, contact Amelia O’Connor, asopcoastalbirds@gmail.com.
