A training session for this year’s citizen science survey of Oregon’s Black Oystercatcher population will take place on Saturday, April 20, 10 a.m.-noon, at Cannon Beach City Hall (163 E. Gower St.). Those attending will learn about these elusive inhabitants of our rocky shores, and gain instruction in how to contribute to knowledge about the birds’ reproductive success. Details will be provided about this year’s population survey, and subsequent nest surveys over the course of the spring and summer. There is no charge for attending the training session.
