Breeding Bird Survey Birders Needed

We need you to run BBS routes and to recruit new observers.  As
explained in High Priority Needs for Range-wide Monitoring of North
American Landbirds and as repeatedly stated by BBS staff, the single
most important thing we can all do to get better data on long-term
population trends for many species is to ensure that all BBS routes are
run by qualified observers every year.  The BBS is not a difficult
methodology and it only requires one morning per year.  Many of us like
to take an additional morning to scout the route a day or two ahead of
time to make sure bridges are still in place and that we can identify
everything that's singing.  BBS brochures and training CDs are available
from me or Keith Pardieck at BBS. To see the status of routes in your
state, visit http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/results/routemaps/index.cfm.

Please share.
