**Birding Opportunities on the Cameron, Windmill and Bluebird Ranches on the Carden Alvar**
Volunteers are needed to help conduct point counts on the Cameron, Windmill and Bluebird Ranches on the Carden Alvar Provincial Park north of Kirkfield. These counts have been conducted since 2003
At this time we are looking for people to fill out teams for June 9, 2018. All levels of birding expertise are welcome. We need novice birders to help with record keeping, intermediate birders who want to upgrade their skills and expert birders with expert ears to identify the birds of the Alvar by sound and sight as well as lead teams.
This is a rare opportunity to get into the interior of the ranches not open to public access.
If you are interested please contact me with some details about your birding skill levels. You will be assigned to one of the teams. Count teams will assemble at the Cameron Ranch parking lot at 6:00 am on June 9. The counts take place rain or shine so be prepared for all weather conditions. In the event of severe weather, i.e. thunderstorms, the count will be held on June 10.
