I'm writing from the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team because we will be having a special online beached bird surveyor training session for Northern Californians on February 19th from 5pm to 8:30pm. It will take place over Zoom. Our volunteers come from all different backgrounds, but all share a love of the beach and all care about birds! We are happy to give them an excuse to get out there once a month! These surveys can be conducted in groups of people and it's actually encouraged. Just note that anyone hoping to become a COASSTer must have access to a coastal beach located North of Elk, CA.
