Hello all,
Please read the below message and consider helping out the
Golden-winged Warbler Atlas Project (GOWAP) next summer. Act now and be
ready when the birds come back next spring!
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Golden-winged Warbler Atlas Project is
designed to determine the population status and habitat and area
requirements of the Golden-winged and the Blue-winged Warbler as well as
their hybrids. This study engages volunteer birders and professional
biologists to survey and conduct point counts at known and potential
breeding sites of Golden-winged Warblers.
Participants receive a research kit, which includes instructions, data
forms, a color poster of golden-wings, blue-wings, and their hybrids as
well as a GOWAP tape that will be used in the field for playback and point
counts. For more information or to sign up, contact Sara Barker at
607-254-2465, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], or visit our web site at
www.birds.cornell.edu/gowap.
GOWAP data from Ontario are lacking to date, so please consider helping out
with this project.
Many thanks,
Rachel
