Looking for research assistants interested in volunteering with research on natal dispersal and reproductive success of migratory birds. Fieldwork will be conducted at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center near Laurel, MD starting approximately April 15th and continuing through July. Responsibilities will include: assisting with mist netting and banding birds, recording data on captured birds, locating and monitoring nests, habitat quality assessment, and conducting point counts to record all birds seen and heard within the study area.
Preference will be given to applicants who can commit to the entire period of this research and provide their own housing but anyone interested in helping is welcome to apply. Some training can be provided but knowledge of bird identification and experience netting, banding and bleeding birds is highly desired. Please email Clark Rushing ([email protected]) if you are interested or would like more information. Please contact by March 20, 2009
