Whip-poor-will Monitoring
Volunteers Needed 4/29/08

NYSOA will once again be coordinating Whip-poor-will monitoring in New York State this year, as part of the regional Northeast Nightjar Survey project. Last year's monitoring effort in New York was a great success, with NYSOA volunteers surveying more routes and detecting more Whip-poor-wills than any other state in the Northeast. Read the complete summary of New York results from 2007 and see maps showing locations where Whip-poor-wills were detected.

Most of the routes surveyed for Whip-poor-wills last year will be covered by the same volunteers again this year. However, there are a few routes in northern and eastern New York in need of new volunteers this year.
