<div>  Position Summary: Title: Kirtland’s Warbler Experimental Habitat Monitoring Technician (4 openings)Supervisor: ABC Great Lakes Private Lands Director and USDA Forest Service Project LeadLocation: Grayling, MIJob Type: Temporary; 12 weeks (May – July)Salary: $2,800 per month Application Deadline: Open until filled; Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis Introduction: The mission of American Bird Conservancy (ABC) is to conserve birds and their habitats – the places birds need to thrive – across the Americas. We are a growing group of 140+ dedicated staff, located across the United States and with a network of partners from Canada to Chile. Each year, we grow in budget and staff, and we deliver more results aimed at preventing bird species extinctions and reversing declines that are reducing populations of nearly all bird groups. Our work is guided by our principles, which include a commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI). For more information on ABC, visit <a href="http://www.abcbirds.org/">abcbirds.org</a>.  We are seeking motivated, self-starting, and detail-oriented field technicians (4) with songbird monitoring experience, to assist with American Bird Conservancy (ABC), USDA Forest Service, and Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center’s research on the Kirtland’s Warbler in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The field season will be from approximately May 10 to July 10 (dates somewhat flexible). Supervision, daily direction, training, and support will be provided by ABC and USDA Forest Service (USFS) staff.  Kirtland’s Warbler is a conservation-reliant species, relying on active forest management to create its preferred nesting habitat of pure stands of dense, early-age jack pine. Stands are typically produced through timber clear cuts followed by tree planting. To mitigate economic challenges associated with stand regeneration and increase biodiversity potential, experimental stands of either mixed jack and red pine or variable density jack pine stands were created between 2015-2022 by Federal and Michigan state land managers. Monitoring objectives include: (1) determining Kirtland’s Warbler occupancy, pairing rate, and reproductive success in experimental and traditional habitat plantations, and (2) relate demographic parameters to habitat quality measures.  Primary Duties:  <ul><li>Visit study areas throughout the breeding season to conduct observation-based mapping of individually sighted singing males.</li><li>Conduct nest searching by following males and females using behavioral cues.</li><li>Follow pairs throughout the breeding season to find nests, monitor nests for success/failure, and find potential re-nesting attempts.</li><li>Conduct vegetation sampling to describe habitat conditions.</li></ul>  To Apply:  Please apply online at Paylocity.

Position Summary: American Bird Conservancy and partners of the Rio Grande Joint Venture (RGJV) and Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture (OPJV) are hiring rangeland monitoring technicians to survey grassland conservation projects on private lands in south Texas, north Texas, and central Oklahoma. Projects were designed to improve grassland habitat for priority grassland birds and other wildlife by implementing management practices such as prescribed fire or brush management. Technicians will collect rangeland plant data on these sites using the Grassland Effectiveness Monitoring (GEM) protocol, which includes line-point intercept and canopy gap methods similar to Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy and the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s (NRCS) National Resources Inventory (NRI). Plant identification will be an important part of this data collection, so botanical experience or dedication to botanical knowledge is sought. Technicians will follow the phenology of spring flowering seasons throughout the study area by starting in south Texas and working their way north into central Oklahoma. Successful candidates will demonstrate botanical field experience, strong verbal communication, and sound decision-making experience in the face of variable field conditions. This is an opportunity to be part of a large-scale grassland conservation effort involving partner conservation agencies and organizations in Texas and Oklahoma.  Primary Duties: <ul><li>Rangeland plant surveys following the line-point intercept method, canopy gap method, and additional measures of plant and rangeland health.</li><li>Identification of grasses and other priority plant species. </li><li>Respectful interaction with other technicians, partner staff, and land managers and occasional coordination with local staff and partners.</li><li>Record keeping and timely submission of data. </li><li>Technicians will be required to drive a personal vehicle to and from field sites.</li></ul> Working Conditions: <ul><li>Candidates will be expected to start early and work 8+ hour days in the field. The work schedule will vary according to weather conditions, so candidates should be patient and flexible with their schedules. Technicians will be exposed to high temperatures, weather events such as high winds and rain, active cattle pastures, venomous snakes, cactus, chiggers, ticks. etc. Technicians should be in good physical condition and be able to hike at least two miles with a 40 lb. backpack without difficulty. </li><li>Rental vehicles may be provided for some locations depending on the capabilities of technicians’ personal vehicles and site condition. However, in most situations technicians will be expected to use personal vehicles to navigate from field housing to the job site. Mileage for personal vehicle use and meals for days worked will be reimbursed.

Position Summary: American Bird Conservancy and partners of the Rio Grande Joint Venture (RGJV) and Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture (OPJV) are hiring rangeland monitoring technicians to survey grassland conservation projects on private lands in south Texas, north Texas, and central Oklahoma. Projects were designed to improve grassland habitat for priority grassland birds and other wildlife by implementing management practices such as prescribed fire or brush management. Technicians will collect rangeland plant data on these sites using the Grassland Effectiveness Monitoring (GEM) protocol, which includes line-point intercept and canopy gap methods similar to Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy and the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s (NRCS) National Resources Inventory (NRI). Plant identification will be an important part of this data collection, so botanical experience or dedication to botanical knowledge is sought. Technicians will follow the phenology of spring flowering seasons throughout the study area by starting in south Texas and working their way north into central Oklahoma. Successful candidates will demonstrate botanical field experience, strong verbal communication, and sound decision-making experience in the face of variable field conditions. This is an opportunity to be part of a large-scale grassland conservation effort involving partner conservation agencies and organizations in Texas and Oklahoma.  Primary Duties: <ul><li>Rangeland plant surveys following the line-point intercept method, canopy gap method, and additional measures of plant and rangeland health.</li><li>Identification of grasses and other priority plant species. </li><li>Respectful interaction with other technicians, partner staff, and land managers and occasional coordination with local staff and partners.</li><li>Record keeping and timely submission of data. </li><li>Technicians will be required to drive a personal vehicle to and from field sites.</li></ul> Working Conditions: <ul><li>Candidates will be expected to start early and work 8+ hour days in the field. The work schedule will vary according to weather conditions, so candidates should be patient and flexible with their schedules.

Housing will be arranged and may include AirBnB/VRBO, trailers, camping, bunkhouses, hotels, and other forms of field housing. As such, candidates should be flexible about housing, adhere to current health advisories, and be respectful of those around them.</li></ul>  To Apply: Please apply online at Paylocity: Applicants must include:1) A letter of interest or cover letter.2) Resume3) Names and contact information for three work references  If you have any difficulties uploading your resume, cover letter, and names and contact information for three work references then please send them as ONE document to HR@abcbirds.org At American Bird Conservancy, we believe that a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills makes us more effective.
