Seeking Beach Nesting Bird Monitors: Training Provided & It's Fun
Every year, Snowy Plovers, Black Skimmers and Least Terns attempt to nest on our area beaches.
They face the challenge of not only the Summer heat and storms, but have to contend with predators,feral cats, raccoons, dogs and disturbance from unknowing or uncaring human activities.
To assist them in their time of need, we need volunteers to help locate and report nests, become beach ambassadors to inform and educate the public, and beach "Bird Life Guards" that would be stationed near nest sites during peak times and holidays to safeguard them from interference.
Training is available.
