RAPTOR OBSERVERS/COUNTERS (10-11 positions) needed to conduct daily,
standardized migration counts in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Montana,
Oregon, and Washington. Starting and ending dates vary by site, always
between 15 August to 15 November. Applicants must provide their own
high-quality, wide-angle binoculars (8-10 power), have good eyesight, be
able to endure long hours in the field, and have demonstrated birding and
raptor-in-flight I.D. skills. Observers will work 5 to 6 days a week in
teams of 2 to 3, supplemented when possible by qualified volunteers. Most
projects require camping on site and observers must supply their own camping
gear; otherwise, basic housing will be provided. Most sites are in
high-elevation remote areas and experience extreme weather conditions.
Stipend varies with experience, $30-35/day ($900-1100/month). Send cover
letter, detailed resume, 3 current references with phone numbers or e-mail
addresses, and dates of availability to Science Department, HawkWatch
International, Inc., 1800 S. West Temple, Suite 226, Salt Lake City, UT
84115 or email: mvekasy at hawkwatch.org. Positions are open until filled.
