We are partnering with Friends of Cave Creek Canyon to sample birds along trails in the Chiricahua Mountains starting in May. We may extend the project to other mountains in the future.

Count birds: Volunteers able to identify birds in the Sky Islands by sight and sound are needed to conduct point counts along trail transects in the Chiricahua Mountains.
Be a hiking safety partner: It is desirable to have at least 2 individuals walk the bird count transects for safety reasons. Volunteers who are not confident they can identify the local birds can help by accompanying bird counters on transects.
Organize data: Volunteers are needed to help temporarily store field data forms and organize data.
Coordinate bird counters/equipment: Volunteers are needed to help coordinate scheduling other volunteers for bird counts and store and manage associated field equipment when it is not in use.
