McGILL BIRD OBSERVATORY

FALL SCHEDULE 2005

Below is the tentative schedule for the fall 2005 season.  Census will be conducted daily; banding dates will be added to the schedule on a weekly to monthly basis - check for updates.  Note that start times represent meeting times at the gate to the Arboretum until the end of August, and at the banding station thereafter.

The volunteer list will be updated at least weekly and any significant changes to the schedule will be circulated via the MBO mailing list.  To be added/removed for any dates, e-mail us at mbo@migrationresearch.org.  We need at least one experienced birder and one or two reasonably experienced extractors for banding days, and prefer to keep the total number of volunteers around six to prevent overcrowding.

Census takes place along a standard pre-determined route for one hour each morning, beginning one hour after sunrise; it should be done by an experienced birder, but one or two less experienced observers may accompany the censuser.  Banding day start times are scheduled to allow us to have nets open by sunrise, after which they will remain open for five hours.

Banders-in-charge indicated by initials (MAG - Marcel Gahbauer, LAL - Lance Laviolette, MAH - Marie-Anne Hudson, BF - Barbara Frei).
