I would be interested in participating in your study. I have been studying
Pine Siskins in the Kootenays as I am a bander in BC.

Additionally, I am conducting a MAPS station in the Creston Valley wetland
area with an emphasis on the warbler passerines during migration, primarily
Audubon's Warbler and its demography in the area.

> Hi OBOL & Tweeters:
>
> I am compiling a list of people with expertise in individual bird
species,
> bird species groups, or monitoring methods for two different projects.
>
> The first is for the Monitoring subcommittee of the Oregon/Washington
> chapter of Partners in Flight. This list would be made available over
the
> PIF web page and mailed to land managers throughout the two states
> with the idea that managers could contact folks on the list to chat about
> species life history, management, habitat needs, surveys etc. A very
> casual commitment.
>
> The second is for the Oregon/Washington Species-Habitat Project.
> People on this list would potentially be contacted to review our bird
> species matrices and maybe fill in some blank spots in our knowledge of
> life history, management effects, habitat use or habitat structure use
> (everything from snags and canopy cover to ponds and emergent
> vegetation, etc.). This would either be done by bringing folks together
as
> a group to review groups of species and/or by having species on a web
> page and inviting folks to review it there.
>
> We are looking for people with expertise (extensive field work, research
> or study) for all bird species in Oregon and Washington, breeders and
> non-breeeders, and all habitats including marine. I say this just to
> emphasize that this effort is covering more than the usual westside
> forest habitats! Folks don't need to live in OR/WA, and knowledge of
> species in B.C., northern Calif, Idaho is close enough. If interested in
> being on one or both lists (PIF list or Species-Habitat Project list),
please
> e-mail me your name, affiliation, address, phone number, e-mail address,
> and area of expertise. This can be one individual species or a species
> group, and be in specific geographic areas and with certain survey
> methods. Examples: eastern OR/WA grassland birds, shorebirds,
> swans, dippers in the Cascades, banding at Hart Mountain etc. Please
> feel free to nominate any "experts" you know of who are not on OBOL
> or Tweeters. For nonminees, names will not be released without their
> consent.
>
> Thank you in advance! Deadline for responding is October 31, 1997.
