IOC (1997) Actualities: Experienced birdwatchers and bird ringers required. LIMOSA 70 (2): 87-87.

The Israel Ornithological Center (IOC) and the Israel Ringing Centre (IBRC) are recruiting experienced bird ringers to volunteer at a ringing station participating in the European-African Songbird Migration network, this autumn (August-December) and next spring (1998). The IOC is also inviting experienced birdwatchers to participate in the Autumn Migration Survey of Soaring Birds (August-October). This annual event has attracted birdwatchers from around the world to observe the hundreds of thousands of raptors, storks and pelicans that migrate over Israel. The IOC will fund food and lodging for those ringers and/or birdwatchers participating in one of these projects for a minimum of four weeks. Travel expenses to and from Israel will have to be covered by the participants. There is an option to participate for a shorter period of time at the expense of the volunteer.
