Maine Owl Survey: Volunteering

 

Owl Playback Surveys

Surveys are conducted by volunteers and Observatory staff.  If you are interested in volunteering, read on!  Help from folks who can travel to remote, Boreal habitats is especially welcome.

The map below shows areas (colored blocks) prioritized for owl surveys over the next couple of years.  Some additional blocks will be added to the map as we assess possible owl habitats and get more information about road access.
