We are looking for avian biologists to join our team to assist with Pinyon Jay colony surveys and monitoring, primarily across southern Idaho. Duties will include survey site scouting, conducting Pinyon Jay surveys and vegetation surveys, monitoring colony activity, data entry, and keeping an updated daily log of surveys and mileage. Technicians will conduct surveys in potentially suitable habitats that especially include shrub-steppe, pinyon-juniper, other coniferous forest types, and edges between these. Positions will begin March 17 and end May 25, 2024 (limited flexibility in the start or end date might be possible), with an option for continuing work on other projects until the end of July.
