SUMMARY:INTERMOUNTAIN WEST SHOREBIRD SURVEYS
DESCRIPTION:VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY — INTERMOUNTAIN WEST SHOREBIRD SURVEYS \nSpring Peak Migration Survey Windows: April 24-30th\nFall Peak Migration Survey Windows: August 9-22nd \nhttps://www.imwss.org/ \nShorebirds represent important species diversity and are indicators of environmental health. \nWetland sites across the Intermountain West are oases for migratory shorebirds. A comprehensive shorebird survey was last completed across the region in 1989-1995\, but much has changed in the past 30 years. This Shorebird Survey is replicating the census of the past so we can better manage shorebirds into the future. \nThe shorebird survey objectives are: \n\n\nDocument the distribution and abundance of shorebirds at over 200 survey areas during the spring and fall migrations from 2022-2026. \n\n\nUse survey data to compare distribution and abundance with the historical shorebird survey from 1989-1995. \n\n\nIdentify factors that influence abundance of shorebirds. \n\n\nWe are recruiting volunteers to survey at wetland sites across the West. Join us and be a part of the collective impact!
