Subject: Grassland Bird Study at Daniels Park. Call for Volunteers.We are looking for volunteers to help conduct a grassland bird study at Daniels Park in Sedalia (Douglas County) in conjunction with Denver Mountain Parks and Denver Zoo. Daniels Park has been managed with one species in mind since 1938, the American Bison. The park is a preserved piece of prairie landscape that connects to 12,000 acres of open space, making it an important conservation site. Research documenting avian populations at this site has not been done before, so this point-count study aims to gain insight into the grassland bird population in the park.Our goal is to create a small team of volunteers who are experienced in grassland bird identification to work in pairs, with one observer and one recorder. We are looking for birders who are confident in their grassland bird identification skills with species such as Say's Phoebe, Western Kingbird, Horned Lark, Tree Swallow, Barn Swallow, House Wren, Western Bluebird, House Finch, Chipping Sparrow, Lark Sparrow, Vesper Sparrow, Song Sparrow, Spotted Towhee, Brown-headed Cowbird, and Black-headed Grosbeak.The study is currently planned to run from May 22- June 9, M-F from about 6-10 am daily. Volunteers are expected to work 1-2 days a week for the three-week study time frame. Training will be held in early May to prepare for the count. The 24 survey points are located in the SW and SE bison pastures, which are not open to the public. Safety training while working in proximity to bison is a top priority. Please email Jennifer Redmond at redmonjs@miamioh.edu to express your interest in participating or give her a call at (303)250-3180 if you have questions.
