Besides birding, I also participate in other citizen science projects. Seatuck Environmental Association is has a citizen science project monitoring Long Island streams for spawning fish, eels and alewives.
Volunteers watch streams for fish coming upstream to spawn and fill out a short online form. They also ask about birds seen while watching for fish. This project has been ongoing throughout Long Island for several years. I have gone to Massapequa Creek for it. There are sites all around Long Island. This year Seatuck would like information about Queens, namely Alley Creek in the Alley Pond Environmental Center section of Alley Pond Park and Gablers Creek in Udalls Cove Preserve. These are new sites for the project, and birders who can also watch the streams for fish would be a big help. If anyone is interested information about the project is here: https://seatuck.org/volunteer-river-herring-survey/ -- Joseph O'Sullivan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
