Three new nest box trails are planned for this season, so several new monitoring volunteers are needed for this rewarding and enjoyable activity. Monitors not only see the development of the nests, but also see other birds and animals and the changing wildflowers during the season. Although we refer to nest box “trails,” the boxes are not located on established trails. Monitoring involves off-trail hiking, and some trails are fairly strenuous. The goal is for each box to be checked and observations recorded weekly from late April until mid-July. We also need substitute monitors who can fill in as needed.
