Kick off fall migration by brushing up on your shorebird identification and flock estimation skills!

Lisa Schibley (North American ISS Coordinator) and Liana DiNunzio (Massachusetts Shorebird Biologist) will be holding a virtual training on the International Shorebird Survey (ISS),  Manomet’s long running volunteer shorebird migration monitoring program. While the training will focus on Massachusetts shorebirds, it will be a great primer for anyone interested in learning more about shorebirds and ISS.

Topics to be covered include:

• ISS background
• ISS protocol
• Shorebird identification
• Flock estimation
• How to become an ISS volunteer
• Q & A

For questions, please reach out to Liana DiNunzio, ldinunzio@manomet.org
