Greetings Jay Watchers!

From:
Marianne Korosy, Ph.D.
 Jay Watch and IBA Coordinator
Audubon Florida
 
Survey opportunities across the state are listed below and include the name and email address of the person you are to contact to sign up for any of these dates and locations (or to contact for more information). We hope you will volunteer to spend time with Florida’s beautiful, charismatic, endemic Scrub-Jay and meet other volunteers and site managers. I challenge each of you to survey not only in your local region but to select one site out of your “usual” survey region – and join the fun!
