Audubon California, Sea and Sage Audubon Society, The Nature Conservancy and the Nature Reserve of Orange County are launching a Coastal Cactus Wren study and need your help. This is a unique opportunity for naturalists and birders (beginning to advanced) to participate with noted Cactus Wren scientists and conservationists to perform urgently needed surveys and nest monitoring at Audubon California’s Starr Ranch Sanctuary, Caspers Wilderness Park, UCI Reserve System, and NROC properties. Training, data collection materials, field assistance, and plenty of encouragement will be provided. Training will take place in January 2009 followed by surveys in February - March. Learn more here. Those interested should contact Starr Ranch’s Sandy DeSimone at (949) 858-0309, or send her an email. (photo by Brian Sullivan)
