Waterfowl Monitors
Location: Topsfield, MA

Join us for our second season of waterfowl monitoring! To gain a better understanding of the number and kinds of waterfowl that are utilizing Bunker Meadows during the fall migration, last year we set up a monitoring project to count and identify the waterfowl. The results will enable us to develop the best management methods for this important shrub-swamp.
Monitoring occurs from September to November.

Qualifications: Applicants should be familiar with using binoculars and bird identification. A training will be held on September 10; applications must be received prior to the training.
