CLIMATE WATCH
Volunteers in the field look for certain bird species to help document birds’ responses to Climate Change. Dunes-Calumet is organizing field surveys for White-breasted Nuthatch and Eastern Bluebird within our jurisdiction of Lake and Porter Counties. Volunteers go out once during May 15-June 15 to an assigned area. Within that area there are 12 stops where they will look and listen for birds for 5 minutes, and record what they can identify. This information is compiled as a checklist on eBird from which researchers will use the information. The winter survey period is January 15 – February 15.
If you would like to be a Climate Watch Volunteer or would like to know more, please contact Kim Ehn at kmehn@comcast.net
