Hi all, my name is Kellie and I'm the lead bander at Hitchcock Nature Center.
We are looking for help with Hawkwatch coverage from volunteers who are experienced in IDing bird of prey in flight and are willing to learn some basic protocols for data collection. Currently, we do not have enough experienced volunteers who can ID raptors independently. Experienced volunteers are critical to ensuring that our counter can take time off to rest, run errands, and get more experience out of their short time living in the Loess Hills. We were hoping that if possible, they could take a weekday off each week to run errands at places that are closed on the weekends. Please reach out to me if you are interested and I will get you in contact with the counter. <kahayden91...> or <xxkhaydenxx...>
