SUMMARY:Virtual Black Oystercatcher Community Science Training – April 30\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:« All Events\n \n\n	Virtual Black Oystercatcher Community Science Training – April 30\, 2025\n			April 30\n	  @\n6:30 pm\n	  –\n8:00 pm \n\nFree \n	 \nBlack Oystercatchers are a striking and easily recognizable bird with whom we share our coast. Because of their small global population size\, low reproductive rate\, and reliance on rocky intertidal habitats\, they are considered a “species of high conservation concern” and act as an indicator of intertidal ecosystem health. Our community science work with this coastal bird is aiding our efforts to protect rocky shoreline habitats. Learn more about the Oregon Black Oystercatcher Project. \nJoin this training to help us monitor Black Oystercatchers along the Oregon coast or simply to learn more about this charismatic shorebird. The training will cover Black Oystercatcher life history\, the conservation challenges they face\, and survey protocol to participate in our nest monitoring program. \n \nVirtual Training: Wednesday\, April 30\, 2025 | 6:30 – 8 p.m.In-Person Training: Saturday\, May 10\, 2025 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. \n \nFor more information or to RSVP\, email Cara Gates\, Coastal Community Science Biologist\, at cgates@birdallianceoregon.org. \n \nPartners: USFWS\, USGS\, North Coast Land Conservancy\, Haystack Rock Awareness Program\, Friends of Haystack Rock\, Seven Capes Bird Alliance\, Cape Arago Audubon Society\, Kalmiopsis Audubon Society \n\n	Categories:\n		Birding\, Community Science\, Online Event	 \n\n	Website:\n	https://birdallianceoregon.org/event/virtual-black-oystercatcher-community-science-training-april-30-2025/ \n\n	Organizer\n\n			\n			Bird Alliance of Oregon			\n	\nView Organizer Website \n\n					\n						\n	 \n\n			\n		Virtual Training			\n	\n\n	OR\n	United States\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n\n					\n						\n	 \n\n	View Venue Website \n\n				\n			\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	 \n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n				WEDNESDAYS: Bird Song Walks at Mt.

SUMMARY:Virtual Snowy Plover Patrol Training – April 8 & 9\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Bird Alliance of Oregon presents: \nVirtual Snowy Plover Patrol Training – April 8 & 9\, 2025\n\nWe will be hosting a 2-night virtual event and an in-person event for Snowy Plover Patrol training in 2025. The classroom training will be presented virtually on Tuesday\, April 8 and Wednesday\, April 9 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. and in-person at the Seaside Civic & Convention Center on Saturday\, April 19 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.\, including a field trip to nearby Necanicum Inlet to look for Snowy Plovers (click to view in-person event). \nBoth versions of the training will be divided into 4 learning modules. They cover all relevant topics needed to understand and survey for Snowy Plovers\, as well as what we can do to help them. Anyone interested in learning more about Snowy Plovers or participating in our Plover Patrol community science program is welcome to attend. \nBird Alliance of Oregon is partnering with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and the Institute for Natural Resources to monitor threatened Western Snowy Plovers at 6 sites along the North Coast (from Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria to Sitka Sedge State Natural Area near Pacific City) from April through September. We are looking for volunteers to conduct plover detection surveys and/or nest monitoring surveys. Field training requirements vary depending on survey type. Plover detection surveys require only 1 field training session before surveying alone\, while nest monitoring requires at least 20 field training hours before surveying alone. Survey sites vary in distance and time to complete\, ranging from 1-12 miles roundtrip and 2-6 hours. Learn more about Snowy Plover Patrol. \nFor more information or to RSVP\, email Cara Gates\, Coastal Community Science Biologist\, at cgates@birdallianceoregon.org. \n\nTraining Modules and Requirements\nNew volunteers must attend all 4 learning modules to meet the requirements for the ESA-issued Section 10 permit that allows us to monitor this threatened species. While not mandatory for returning volunteers\, attendance is highly recommended to refresh on Snowy Plover knowledge and survey methods. Regardless of your interest in volunteering\, all are welcome to join the training to learn more about Snowy Plovers and the Plover Patrol program. \nAfter attending the virtual or in-person classroom training\, volunteers wanting to conduct surveys must attend field training before surveying alone. \nModule 1: Life history\, threats and decline\nSnowy Plover Identification\, Similar Species\, Life History\, Habitat\, Behavior\, Threats\, and Decline \nModule 2: Legal status\, management strategies\, and recovery\nEndangered Species Act\, Legal Status\, Management Strategies\, and Recovery \nModule 3: Survey training\, data collection\, and beach safety\nSurvey Protocol\, Survey Tips\, Data Collection\, and Beach Safety \nModule 4: Virtual Survey\nBeach Survey Simulation\, Recap\, and Quiz \nEvent Website: https://birdallianceoregon.org/event/virtual-snowy-plover-patrol-training-april-8-9-2025/
