A major research project is underway to collect data about the endangered
Kirtland's Warbler using eBird.

The research is being conducted in Ohio Friday, May 5, to Sunday, June 4.
To facilitate this research new temporary hotspots have been added to eBird
throughout Ohio using the format:
KIWA-OH-Survey-001

Volunteers are sought to visit these locations. Please sign up with eBird
if you are interested. See the linked article about how to do this.

If you are using eBird you will note that the temporary survey locations
appear throughout Ohio at popular birding locations including Magee Marsh
and Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. Please do not use these temporary
hotspots if you have not signed up to participate in the survey. There is a
special protocol to use with checklists at the research locations. If you
are not participating in the survey, use the regular hotspots to submit
your checklists.
