    Do you dream of working this summer in the beautiful forests of California and Oregon at night - because you’re a night owl or just plain like owls? Heck, you could run around at night hooting for owls, making cash, and working with other like-minded bird nerds to help protect a threatened species. Tanner Environmental Services (TES) is hiring full-time field biologists for temporary/seasonal positions to conduct spotted owl surveys in California and Oregon. Experience conducting surveys for spotted owls is preferred, but not required (training will be provided to all successful applicants). Work will run from when there is access in April-ish through August.
