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.

Physical labor is involved with this project.

Registration required for all participants. Children are welcome with parent/guardian participation.

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.
