VOLUNTEER FIELD BIOLOGISTS NEEDED (UP TO 14) FOR LONG POINT BIRD OBSERVATORY
'S FALL MIGRATION MONITORING
PROGRAM. Located on the north shore of Lake Erie, Long Point is one of the
last wild areas left in southern Ontario. It is internationally recognized
as a World Biosphere Reserve and supports a fantastic diversity of habitats,
plants, and animals. During migration huge numbers of landbirds (and monarch
butterflies) are funnelled down Long Point. Founded in 1960, Long Point Bird
Observatory (LPBO) is North America's oldest bird observatory. The core
program is centred on monitoring populations of migrating birds through
daily census and banding routines at three field stations. Volunteer Field
Biologists staying for 1 month or more have food and accommodation fees
waived.

Short-term volunteers are required to pay a nominal fee covering housing,
on-site travel and food. All participants will experience intensive and
diverse training in field ornithology techniques in a truly beautiful part
of Canada. Up to 14 long-term (1 month minimum) Volunteer Field Biologists
are required for the fall 2002 field season (August 12 to November 15).

Previous ornithological work is preferred but not required, but a strong
interest is a must. For applications or more information contact: Keith
Larson, Landbird Programs Coordinator, Long Point Bird Observatory, P.O. Box
160, Port Rowan, Ontario, N0E 1M0 (519) 586-3531 (email: lpbo at bsc-eoc.org).
