Fall Migration Bird Banders (2)

FALL MIGRATION BIRD BANDERS (2) needed from 1 August to 15 November (start and end dates somewhat flexible) to assist with the 23rd year of migration banding at the Foreman’s Branch Bird Observatory (FBBO).  FBBO is a high-volume station that in fall bands an average of 120 species including hummingbirds, shorebirds and raptors.  Successful applicants will have extensive mist netting experience (processed at least 1000 birds) and must have at least one season’s experience of migration banding.  NABC bander certification is highly desirable.  Banders work 40 hours a week with 2 days off at a pay rate of $11.50/hour.  Housing provided nearby, but a personal vehicle is best due to our rural location.  Applications must be submitted through Washington College’s website here: https://www.washcoll.edu/offices/human-resources/employment.php   Questions can be directed to Maren Gimpel mgimpel2@washcoll.edu
