Description
HAYWARD SHORELINE - Here is your opportunity to become a “Birding-Peeping-Tom” by peering into the family life of terns, plovers, and skimmers. You will be to helping to record data about their nest distribution, chronology and reproductive success using the Type 2 monitoring method. In this method, surveys are conducted from a vehicle approximately 100m from the island at various times of day, with the majority of the surveys conducted from 0700 to 1700 hours, seven days a week. Once you complete this training, you may wish to sign up to help with future monitoring during scheduled shifts. A 60mm (2.4 in) spotting scope on a car window mount will be available. By participating, you’ll earn your “Tern Town Team” patch.
What to Bring: We recommend the following personal protective items: Binoculars and wear outdoor clothing (long pants), hiking boots (close-toed footwear), gloves, hats, water, and sunscreen.
Physical labor is involved with this project.
Registration required for all participants. Children are welcome with parent/guardian participation.
