Interested in surveying for Marsh Birds or Amphibians this spring? Each spring, hundreds of active Citizen Scientists in Ontario and the Great Lakes States dedicate 8 or more hours to survey marsh birds and/or amphibians in Great Lakes coastal and inland marshes. Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program volunteers are awarded with a great opportunity to spend time in these unique habitats - enjoying nature, improving their skills, and supporting wetland conservation. At the same time the important data they collect contributes to our understanding of these species, their habitat needs and the health of the Great Lakes. Interested in participating? Learn more about the Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program <http://www.birdscanada.org/volunteer/glmmp> online, and view a map of available and assigned routes < http://goo.gl/sgoaX2 >. To register, contact Kathy Jones volunteer at birdscanada.org<http://ontbirds.ca/mailman/listinfo/birdalert_ontbirds.ca> and let her know your location and preferred route choices.
