About

Hello fellow birders,

The Palouse Conservation District is conducting volunteer citizen science bird counts during the month of May and early June at the paired watershed study area of Cow Creek and Thorn Creek between Genesee, ID and Uniontown, WA. The goal of the monitoring is to quantify changes in avian populations due to riparian forest buffer plantings along five miles of stream in the Thorn Creek watershed. This will be the third year of this study. We have collected some good data on species richness and diversity in the area in 2017, 2018, and 2019. It would be great to continue that trend this year.

The bird counts consist of driving to marked points located roughly a mile apart in the watersheds, identifying all birds detected by sight or sound over a five-minute period, then continuing on to the next point and repeating the process over again. There are 26 points in total, 13 in the Thorn Creek watershed (experimental points) and 13 in the Cow Creek watershed (control points) all marked with a wooden stake with the top wrapped in orange duct tape. The points are split up between three sets and volunteers will choose the set or sets they would like to monitor. Each set should take no more than two hours to complete. Volunteers have the option of meeting as a group with PCD staff on Friday, May 14th, May 21st, and June 4th at 5:30 am, or can pick another day that works best for their schedule and a set of points to monitor from the options below. If you would like to participate as part of the PCD group, please select those times and a set to monitor. Otherwise, select a set of points and monitoring date of your choosing. When monitoring outside of the group, an early morning and evening monitoring time is preferred. Givepulse only allows for ten dates to be entered at a time, so if the date you would like to participate in the future is not listed, please check back closer to that time for an updated list. For more information, please contact Anthony Hatcher by email anthonyh@palousecd.org or phone (509) 553-1854.

Participants will be required to provide their own transportation and binoculars. 

If monitoring outside of the group, you will be emailed a data sheet and map of the points you selected after registering. Please print off a map and data sheets prior to monitoring. When completed, scan and email or text a picture of the data sheets to the contact information above. Thanks!

 

As per Washington State’s Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery plan, times and locations have been designated to allow 10 participants per time slot and location. In accordance with Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, social distancing will be enforced. Participants are asked to wear a mask and maintain 6 feet distance during events.
