McGILL BIRD OBSERVATORY

SPRING SCHEDULE 2005

Below is the tentative schedule for the spring 2005 season.  Census will be conducted daily; additional banding dates may be inserted as time permits.  Note that start times represent meeting times at the gate to the Arboretum.

The volunteer list will be updated at least weekly; 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 six hours.

Banders-in-charge are indicated by initials (MAG - Marcel Gahbauer, LAL - Lance Laviolette).
