Breeding Bird Survey Birders Needed We need you to run BBS routes and to recruit new observers. As explained in High Priority Needs for Range-wide Monitoring of North American Landbirds and as repeatedly stated by BBS staff, the single most important thing we can all do to get better data on long-term population trends for many species is to ensure that all BBS routes are run by qualified observers every year. The BBS is not a difficult methodology and it only requires one morning per year. Many of us like to take an additional morning to scout the route a day or two ahead of time to make sure bridges are still in place and that we can identify everything that's singing. BBS brochures and training CDs are available from me or Keith Pardieck at BBS. To see the status of routes in your state, visit http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/results/routemaps/index.cfm.
