Survey Golden-winged Warblers for conservation The Golden-winged Warbler is a priority bird that has drawn much attention as its population status is currently unknown in Minnesota. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with support from the Ruffed Grouse Society of Minnesota, has initiated a citizen-science project called the Golden-winged Warbler Atlas Project (GOWAP) which engages volunteer birders and professional biologists to survey and conduct point counts at known and potential breeding sites of golden-wings throughout their range. The project is designed to determine the population status and habitat and area requirements of the Golden-winged and the Blue-winged Warbler, as well as their hybrids. There are two protocols associated with the project. The first is the Population Survey, similar to a past Lab citizen-science project called the Cerulean Warbler Atlas Project. Volunteers will survey known and/or potential breeding sites (chosen by the participant) to determine numbers of breeding birds, population status, and general habitat characteristics. The second is the Hybrid Index protocol. Participants will choose one or more pages from their state's Delorme Atlas (gazetteer) and conduct a series of 10-minute point counts in suitable golden-wing habitat, using playback and visual identification to help create a hybrid index map. Participants will receive a research kit, which includes instructions, data forms, a color poster of golden-wings, blue-wings, and their hybrids as well as a CD that will be used in the field for playback and point counts. Funds are available to pay qualified field assistants in Minnesota who wish to work extensively on the Hybrid Index protocol. We need both paid and volunteer participants to begin work in early May. For more information contact the GOWAP project leader, Sara Barker, at [email protected] or (607) 254-2465. You can visit the web site at http://birds.cornell.edu/gowap. Please let us know how you would like to be involved in this important conservation endeavor. --MS_Mac_OE_3161694476_1939997_MIME_Part Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FW: Survey Assistants Needed</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <BR> <BR> ----------<BR> <B>From: </B>"Rick Horton" <[email protected]><BR> <B>Date: </B>Tue, 9 Mar 2004 15:51:13 -0600<BR> <B>To: </B>"Jackie Lind" <[email protected]>, <= ;[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]&g= t;, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <ho...@csp= .edu>, <[email protected]>, "Bonita Eliason" <bonita.el= [email protected]>, "Brian Stenquist" <brian.stenqu...@d= nr.state.mn.us>, "Carrol Henderson" <[email protected]= ate.mn.us>, "Ed Boggess" <[email protected]>, &q= uot;Emmett Mullin" <[email protected]>, "Gary Dr= otts" <[email protected]>, "Jeanine Vorland" = <[email protected]>, "Joan Galli" <Joan.Gal= [email protected]>, "Katie Haws" <[email protected]= s>, "Lee Pfannmuller" <[email protected]>, = "Lisa Gelvin-Innvaer" <[email protected]>,= "Lloyd Knudson" <[email protected]>, "Maya= Hamady" <[email protected]>, "Nancy Dietz" &= lt;[email protected]>, "Steve Stucker" <steve.stuc= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <rpeder...@ducks= .org>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <mshe= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]&g= t;, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <john.chr= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <neal_niem...@fws.= gov>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <sh= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <steve_wi...@f= ws.gov>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <m= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <zarx...@salama= nder.com>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <melind= [email protected]>, <[email protected]><BR> <B>Cc: </B><[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, "Ja= ckie Lind" <[email protected]>, "Jaime Edwards&quo= t; <[email protected]>, "Ray Norrgard" <ray.n= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <Barba= [email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]&= gt;, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <cuthb...@u= mn.edu>, <[email protected]>, "Dan Dessecker" <rgsd...@= chibardun.net><BR> <B>Subject: </B>Survey Assistants Needed<BR> <BR> Minnesota Birders - Please help spread the word that we are looking for fie= ld assistants to help with the GWW Atlas Project detailed below.
