RAPTOR MIGRATION COUNTERS (~20 positions) needed to conduct daily, standardized migration counts in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Projects will run between 15 August and 15 November 2005, with specific dates varying by site. Applicants must have good eyesight, be in good physical condition, be able to endure long hours in the field and variable weather, have demonstrated birding and raptor-in-flight I.D. skills, and must be able to work well in a team environment. Weather permitting, all observers will work six days per week in teams of 2 or 3, supplemented when possible by other crewmembers and qualified volunteers. Most projects are in high-elevation remote areas, experience highly variable weather, and require camping on site. At remote project sites, all crewmembers must supply their own camping gear; otherwise, basic housing will be provided. Observers will work as volunteers receiving a non-taxable daily per diem of $30-35/day ($900-1100/month), a $150 site-access travel stipend, and reimbursement for other work related travel. Send cover letter, detailed resume, 3 current references with phone numbers or e-mail addresses, and dates of availability preferably by email to [email protected] or by regular mail to Jeff Smith, HawkWatch International, Inc., 1800 S. West Temple, Suite 226, Salt Lake City, UT 84115. Visit www.hawkwatch.org for project descriptions and past technical reports. Positions are open until filled.
