Birders! Please help on Saturday at the All-day Long Watch, the 2nd year of a project to monitor bird populations on Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington and Hamilton.
We need volunteer observers to help spot and count birds at either of two varied and productive locations on RBG property. The two sites are: The Marsh Boardwalk along the north shore of Cootes Paradise (access from the RBG Arboretum) and South Pasture Swamp platform in Hendrie Valley (access from Unsworth Drive or RBG’s Cherry Hill Gate on Plains Rd W.) We need observers who can help for a few hours any time between sunrise and sunset this Saturday, May 21st. It works rather like the Grimsby Hawk Watch where observers assist the ‘official’ counter by watching for birds and relaying the information to the counter. It's okay to just show up. (Although it would be helpful to let us know you're coming) You don’t need to be an expert birder, it’s your enthusiasm and sharp eyesight we need. For more information and exact locations contact Peter Thoem peterth...@gmail.com* or phone* *905 681 2738*. *or David Moffat at * *289 238 8026* *or * profm...@gmail.com Peter Thoem Burlington ON.
