Greetings Minnesota Birders,
Spring is on its way! Before things get too busy with spring migration,
though, the Western Great Lakes Spring Owl Monitoring Project
(http://www.hawkridge.org/research/springowl.html) sends volunteers out
across the state to listen for, and report, calling owls. YOU can be part
of the action this year, as we are seeking new volunteers for the program.
Owl routes are 9 miles long, follow a pre-determined path, and take
approximately 90 minutes to complete. You are asked to stop at one mile
intervals and listen quietly for 5 minutes, then record any owls that you
hear calling during that time. Volunteers survey their route ONE time
between April 1 and April 15. We have routes all over the state of
Minnesota, primarily in the southern and western quadrants of the state.
If you are interested in signing up for this project, please send me the
following information:
1. Your full name
2. Your mailing address and phone number
3. The county in which you live (or where you will be during April 1-15,
2011)
4. How many miles you are willing to drive to the start of a route
5. How many routes you would be willing to cover (each route takes
approximately 1:20 to complete)

I hope you'll join us on this fun project -- our volunteers LOVE their
owl-prowl evenings!
Good birding,
Julie
