The Bird Conservation and Monitoring Program at the Kèköldi Scientific
Center, Talamanca, Costa Rica is looking for volunteers for the raptor migration count and bird banding program.
Located along the Caribbean coast near Puerto Viejo, the Kekoldi site is the second most important raptor migration route in the world, with dozens of species and up to 500,000 birds in a single day. Volunteers are needed for spring and fall migration: Feb 15 to May 15 and Aug 15 to Dec 15. Volunteers should plan on at least a three-week stay; lodging and meals are provided. The Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve is over 12,000 acres, located within the Talamanca-Caribbean Biological Corridor - more than 86,000 acres of land under protection.
