The Cape Cod National Seashore is conducting a wind
feasibility study at the Highlands Center in North Truro for a
potential wind turbine. As part of the study, bird surveys are taking place in
potential turbine locations. More volunteers are needed who have experience in birding.
<p>The seashore is looking to conduct 5 focal surveys a month. Sessions occur during the day and last 30 minutes- 2 hours (depending on
volunteer's availability and fatigue). Work consists of standing in
the designated area with binoculars and recording the birds that pass
within an approx. 300 foot radius. Observer would note the species and
approximate height of flight of each bird that passed through that zone.</p>
