Nellie Tsipoura of the New Jersey Audubon Society writes:

   
NJAS is currently recruiting volunteers for bird surveys coordinated
through the Citizen Science Program. Participants must have some prior
experience in shorebird identification and be willing to commit three
days a month in August, September and October to conducting bird
surveys.
   Shorebird survey volunteers are needed for the New Jersey
Meadowlands and some coastal sites. Shorebird Associates are required
to survey their site every 10 days (and at least 5 days apart) during
southbound (fall) migration: Now to October 31st.
   For more
information on this project, contact Nellie Tsipoura,  nellie.tsipoura@njaudubon.org.

   Training in identification and count methodology will be
provided by NJ Audubon.
   The NJAS Citizen Science program is a
collaborative effort of NJAS, the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife's
Endangered and Non-game Species Program (ENSP) Data collected will
further our knowledge of bird distribution and abundance in New Jersey.
