Below is my request for volunteers with details of project objectives and equipment needed. You are receiving this message in hopes that you will pass it on. Thanks! Eleven yearling trumpeter swans are going to be released on the Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge in early May. Eight of these swans will be wearing neck collars with radios, three others will be wearing collars only. We are testing some different radio configurations and are interested in behavioral differences between the birds with different collars (i.e., 2 birds will have 2 inch external antennae on their radio, 2 birds will have embedded antennae, etc.). The birds are wing clipped, but will become flighted again in mid July. We are going to need some volunteers to monitor swan behavior during the time period the birds are at the Refuge. Observation forms will be provided to volunteers. A personal vehicle will be required (refuge roads are good, so high clearance vehicles are not necessary). Spotting scopes and binoculars are also a must, these may be available if needed. Unfortunately, there is no money for gas or food reimbursement, just the gratitude of all involved in swan conservation. Any daylight hours and any days of the week are acceptable for observations. I will provide a schedule to all volunteers showing what days they are obligated after I hear from all potential volunteers. All interested persons or groups should provide their name, email address, phone number, and preferred dates to me no later than May 8. Thanks for your assistance! I will be out of the office from April 29 - May 7, I will answer phone and email inquiries after that time. Lauri Hanauska-Brown Wildlife Biologist Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game 1515 Lincoln Rd.
