I was hoping that you could send out the following ad to Blomidon Naturalist Society members or anyone else who may be interested in this opportunity.=20 =20 Thanks very much,=20 Trina=20 =20 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````= ` ````````````````````````````````````````````````` The Atlantic Bird Observatory is seeking help during the upcoming spring migration season (May 1-31st, 2008). We need an individual who would be willing to live on Bon Portage Island (southwest Nova Scotia) for an entire month and conduct our daily census (1 hour bird survey starting 1 hour afte= r sunrise). We are primarily interested in the migratory patterns of passerines and ideally, the individual would need to know how to identify passerines by sight and sound. The island is a fabulous spot to bird during migration, has a breeding colony of over 50,000 pairs of Leach=B9s Storm Petrels and is well known locally due to Evelyn Richardson=B9s book We Keep A Light.=20 =20 We are able to cover travel expenses, food and lodging (within reason =AD caviar is not a staple), plus pay for your time. Individuals will stay in = a rustic cabin with basic comforts (wood stove, kerosene lamps, coleman cookstove). There is an island care taker who oversees activities on the island, (e.g., boat crossings, general upkeep of facilities) and there will be other researchers on the island from time to time, so you will not be completely isolated for an entire month. =20 Another option is to have several individuals participate for shorter durations (e.g., week long periods). =20 The spring season can be quite warm and beautiful, but typically it is characterized by fog, storms (which can prevent boat crossings for several days), rain, cold and dampness. The island is also quite rugged (cobble rocks are hard to walk on), so the individual would need to be relatively fit.=20 =20 If anyone is interested in this position, please contact Trina Fitzgerald immediately at trina.fitzgerald@acadiau.ca =20 Thanks for considering this opportunity - Trina =20 =20 --Boundary_(ID_e9K48vt/lBcXaYQ5jnmf6w) Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FW: ABO birding position for May 1-31/08 on Bon Portage Island</TITL= E> </HEAD> <BODY> Harold, please send this out to the BNS mailing list, with apologies for cr= oss-postings?
