Attention Shorebirders! If anyone is going to be at Jones Beach, Point Look-Out, or the beaches of Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways, we need your help.
As part of an American Oystercatcher project, we are working with Shiloh Schulte (Manomet Center for Conservation Science). He has been flying over beaches of New York City, looking for roosting birds. He would appreciate some help with ground-truthing. The sites mentioned above are the places Shiloh flew over those sites on February 5, 2013. If anyone can get to those sites today – or within the next 7 days, within 2 hours on either side of high tide – please let me know. The information needed: Your Name Location Time of Day Weather (temperature, precipitation) Time of High Tide Number of birds seen. (REMEMBER: Zero is an important number!) Any additional observations (banded birds, etc) Number of people in your group Amount of time spent at the site Thank you for your help on this important – and fun!! – project.
