The UBRP office has received information and application
materials for a variety of research experience programs,
grants, scholarships, conferences, jobs, and graduate
programs. What follows is a sampling:
Undergraduate Students: Looking for field
experience? Do you need field experience
and want to learn about birds and their habitat in
Sonora, Mexico? I am seeking one or more assistants
to help survey for, then monitor, nests of ferruginous
pygmy-owls in northern Sonora Mexico between mid-April
and mid-June, 2006. The work involves tape-play back
surveys, nest searching, and using a micro-video camera
and video display to monitor nests and document contents.
I am also looking for experienced birders, who want
to explore some selected and sometimes remote areas
of Sonora in search of rare species and habitats between
June and August. Work involves hiking and camping in
the field for approximately one-week field trips. Short
commitments are possible. All expenses and a stipend
will be provided. If you are interested or have questions,
please contact Aaron Flesch at flesch@ag.arizona.edu or
730-4656.
