Dear Upper Valley birders,

The Vermont Center for Ecostudies is looking for birders to help with a conservation project this summer.  Mountain Birdwatch is a long-term monitoring effort to survey Bicknell’s Thrush and other high-elevation forest birds.  We’re looking for beginner to experienced birdwatchers who are strong hikers to conduct a survey in the Adirondacks, Catskills, Green and White Mountains, or  Maine. We can especially use help in New Hampshire; we've got a lot of great routes waiting to be adopted in the Whites. Hike a scenic mountain trail, enjoy the sunrise, and count birds for conservation!  To learn more about Mountain Birdwatch protocols, visit http://www.vtecostudies.org/MBW/prep.html, or to check out our list of available routes, see http://www.vtecostudies.org/MBW/availableroutes.html .  Please contact Mountain Birdwatch director Judith Scarl (jscarl “at” vtecostudies.org) if you’d like to sign up or learn more about this exciting program!

Thank you for your interest!
