Help us to Monitor Bird Populations

IBP uses a wide variety of bird survey techniques, including constant-effort mist netting, point counts, and nest monitoring to study avian demographics. We also collect climate, weather and habitat data to determine the environmental and landscape-level causes of changes in bird populations. Each year we offer intern and biologist positions on a number of interesting projects. For the spring/summer of 2010, we have the following openings:

BIRD-BANDING OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE MAPS PROGRAM - Positions filled.

BIRD-BANDING OPPORTUNITIES IN SAIPAN - current positions filled, but we will likely begin recruiting for Feb-May 2011 in Fall 2010.

BACKCOUNTRY POINT COUNTS IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST NATIONAL PARKS - Positions filled.

BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER MONITORING IN SIERRA NEVADA NATIONAL FORESTS - Positions filled.

SPOTTED OWL SURVEY IN NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK, WA - Positions filled.
