Nicki Cagle and I, Natalia, completed a test survey of the buildings today, the same one that our brave volunteers will follow every day for 21 days this Spring, and then again this Fall. During the survey, we identified potential building problems, and adjusted the route to make it easier for our volunteers to find carcasses.
We found two carcasses that had already been scavenged, both first collision records for Duke campus:
– Eastern Towhee
– Yellow-rumped Warbler
We are ready to start the survey this Spring! – Volunteer and join us, and keep an eye out for bird carcasses!
