Jay Watch
Jay Watch is a scrub-jay population assessment using volunteers to count scrub-jays on conservation sites. Volunteers attend training sessions in the spring where they learn about jays, their habitat and protocols for observing and tracking them.

Biologists provide participants with all the information they need to be successful Jay Watch volunteers. At the training, you will learn about Florida scrub-jay biology and the Jay Watch tracking and counting protocols.

Volunteers interested in learning more and participating in the Jay Watch program in 2008 can sign up for the following trainings, all starting at 8 a.m. and ending by noon. Volunteers need no prior experience. For more information, please contact Cheryl Millett at (863) 635-7506 or cmillett@tnc.org.
