Spring Owl Monitoring Volunteers Needed

Who doesn't love the experience of hearing owls in the night??  The spring 
breeding season is the best time to hear owls courting, and we need your help 
to count them up!

The 2007 Western Great Lakes Spring Owl Monitoring Project is seeking 
volunteers to help complete owl surveys throughout the entire state of 
Minnesota.  Volunteers will be assigned an existing route, and will be asked to 
survey their route once during each of 3 survey periods.  Routes are 9 miles 
long; volunteers will stop at 1 mile intervals and listen for a 2 minute period 
at each stop.

Survey periods are: March 9-18, March 19-Apr 8 and Apr 9-22.

If you're interested in participating in this project, please contact Julie 
O'Connor, Owl Monitoring Volunteer Coordinator at: jpmcocon@aol.com or
