EXPERIENCED BIRD RESEARCHERS - The University of New Brunswick is looking for 
experienced bird researchers for a project studying Bicknell's Thrush in remote 
north-central New Brunswick. The successful applicants will be working in dense 
regenerating balsam fir stands, with an early start to the day (4:00 a.m.), so 
a good sense of humor and enjoyment of the outdoors are important. Applicants 
should feel comfortable removing birds from mist nets, handling, and sampling 
them (claws, feathers, blood), searching for nests, as well as scribing. We will 
also be searching for nests using radio transmitters, and setting up video 
monitoring equipment on the nests. The field season will begin 25 May, and will 
end early August. We will work 8 hours/day, five days a week, with the exception 
of rain days. The wage is $10/hr (works out to about $1600/mth) and we work for 
2.5 months. Room and board is included, but successful applicants will need to 
provide their own transportation to Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. We will 
be staying near the research site, in a large (heated) army tent. To apply 
please contact HUBERT ASKANAS via e-mail (EM: k439e AT unb.ca).
