Wildlife Volunteers: Tern Town Team Colony Monitors Training

TRUDEAU TRAINING CENTER (OAKLAND) and HAYWARD SHORELINE - Here is your opportunity to become a “Birding-Peeping-Tom” by peering into the family life of terns, plovers, and skimmers. You will be helping to record data about their nesting chronology and reproductive success using the Type 2 monitoring method. In this method, surveys are conducted from a vehicle approximately 100 meters from the island at various times of day, with the majority of the surveys conducted between 7am and 5pm, seven days a week. There are two sessions for this training. By participating in both, you’ll earn your Tern Town Team patch. Physical labor is involved with this project.
