Each year, we hire seasonal field technicians for both summer and fall work. In the breeding season, field work may involve point counts, nest-searching/monitoring, territory mapping, and/or songbird banding. In the fall, we hire experienced songbird banders to work on our fall migration monitoring project. Visit our Employment page for current openings.
