Posting this for Adam Sussbauer. Please contact him directly if interested. - Trustees of Reservations Volunteer Bird Monitoring
My name is Adam Sussbauer, I'm a TerraCorps member working with The Trustees of Reservations in Massachusetts, and I'm the coordinator for our two statewide grassland bird monitoring volunteer programs. I am reaching out because we are looking for volunteers to fill roles in the southern Berkshires of Massachusetts, and I thought that maybe there are some folks over the border in Connecticut who might be interested!
The highest priority role that I'm looking to fill is a nest box monitor at Bartholomew's Cobble in Sheffield, MA. This role includes the volunteer making weekly visits to the property to visit all of the songbird nest boxes on the property, where they will open them up, identify the species living within it, count the eggs/hatchlings, and record such data on Cornell's NestWatch program. We're also looking to fill a similar role at Tyringham Cobble in Tyringham, MA. This is a great experience for birders to get up and close with the birds!
A second project is grassland field surveys, where volunteers would make a minimum of three visits to their property between May and July to monitor fields and make observations of target bird species, such as bobolinks.
