[Denveraudubon] Mountain Plovers in Prairie Dog Town Survey: Help Needed

[Charles Thornton-Kolbe]

As part of the Important Bird Area project at the Pawnee National Grasslands, Polly Reetz is coordinating an effort to monitor Mountain Plovers at these locations.  Mountain Plovers have not been surveyed at these locations in the past so this information will be important to assess the impact of Prairie Dog management on Mountain Plovers.
   
  We will likely need about 8 to 12 well-trained volunteers for one or two days each.  The observation protocol is somewhat complicated so it will take some training.  We also need to be careful that our surveys do not result in Plovers flying off their nests.  Please contact me at charles at sharenature.org if you are interested in participating in these surveys.  This will involve 1 or 2 full days in either late May or late June.
