Dear Shorebird Citizen Scientist,

It is time to start thinking about the spring migration surveys!

Please let us know if you are able to participate in the 2012 survey.

The spring migration surveys should be conducted once a week between April 27 and June 10.  The data sheet is available at:  http://www.njaudubon.org/Portals/10/CitizenScience/PDF/Shorebird_Survey_spring2012_datasheet.pdf.

For those of you who are interested in surveying for the fall migration, fall surveys start in mid-July and counts are conducted once every 10 days.

Please email me or Nellie (nellie.tsipoura@njaudubon.org) if you have any questions.  Counters are especially needed in South Jersey, so spread the word.
