• Conservation Science Intern

  Job Summary: 

  Tracy Aviary’s Conservation Science Program helps conserve birds and their habitats through community science. Focusing on key local habitats and pressing regional conservation issues, our goals are to gather novel information about local avian ecology, inform habitat restoration and stewardship, and engage a diverse community in scientific data collection. In fall of 2024, Tracy Aviary is offering a 4-month internship that will provide on-the-ground experience in avian conservation science, with a focus on two of the Aviary’s research projects: 

  1) Year-round Bird Monitoring in the Salt Lake Valley: Tracy Aviary conducts year-round community science bird surveys at 12 study sites throughout the Salt Lake Valley. These surveys help answer questions about the impact of restoration, management, and habitat alteration on bird communities, and provide a basis for recommendations on bird-friendly practices at these sites. The Conservation Science Intern will assist in data entry and analysis for all study sites, and will attend non-breeding season surveys at various sites around Salt Lake County. 

  2) Salt Lake Avian Collision Survey (SLACS): Approximately two-thirds of all migratory bird species migrate at night, and many of these birds miss seasonal migratory cues, wander off course, and collide with windows as a result of light pollution. In order to document light pollution and its impacts on birds in Salt Lake City, Tracy Aviary has created the Salt Lake Avian Collision Survey (SLACS). For this project, staff and community scientists conduct early morning surveys in downtown Salt Lake City during peak migration to document the birds that have collided with buildings overnight. This information is used to inform Lights Out Salt Lake: a grassroots conservation initiative where private residents, buildings, and businesses elect to turn out their lights at night during peak bird migration. The Conservation Science Intern will coordinate volunteers for SLACS, conduct collision surveys during September and October, and assist with outreach for Lights Out Salt Lake. 

  3) Great Salt Lake Shorebird Motus Tagging Project: Great Salt Lake provides critical habitat to millions of migratory birds, and these habitats are increasingly threatened as water is diverted away from the lake while the region suffers an ongoing drought. While conditions worsen, we are faced with limited information about these birds and where they are moving. Using a

  network of Motus Wildlife Tracking stations that have recently been built throughout Utah, and the existing stations established throughout the Pacific flyway and beyond, we have a unique ability to gather essential fine-scale and large-scale information to help conserve birds that are especially threatened by changing climate conditions. The Conservation Science Intern will assist with Motus station installations during the fall months. 

  Position Dates: ~mid-August to mid-December (4-month position, exact start and end dates flexible) 

  Primary Duties: 

  • Enter and proof bird and habitat data for breeding season point count surveys and vegetation surveys conducted during 2024 season. Optional analysis project available depending on experience and interest. 
  • Conduct morning bird-building collision surveys in downtown Salt Lake City during September and October. 
  • Help coordinate and train volunteers for SLACS, and assist with outreach for Lights Out Salt Lake. 
  • Provide support for Tracy Aviary’s Birds of Utah class, including coordination and classroom set up. 
  • Assist with bird banding and Motus program needs. 
  • Assist in other duties related to Tracy Aviary’s Conservation Science Program as needed. Stipend: $700/month, housing available starting October in shared intern house 

  Job Qualifications: 

  • Background and/or demonstrated experience in biology or ecology. 
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills 
  • Experience working with volunteers/members of the public 
  • A good team player, but able to work independently 
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office suite 
  • Knowledge of bird identification and experience with bird/habitat survey methods preferred ● Experience with data entry and analysis preferred (including ArcGIS, R, and/or other statistical software) 

  Studies have shown that women, non-binary folks, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are much less likely to apply for a position unless they feel they meet every qualification as described. We are committed to finding the best overall candidate and welcome candidates who may come from less traditional backgrounds. Please think about the breadth of your life experience when considering the list of qualifications. 

  To Apply: Send a cover letter describing relevant experience and skills, a resume, and contact information for three references to Angie Trumbo (conservation@tracyaviary.org) by August 23, 2024. Applications will be reviewed as they are received.

• Utah Bird Conservation Intern

  Job Summary: 

  Tracy Aviary’s Conservation Science Program helps conserve birds and their habitats through  community science. Focusing on key local habitats and pressing regional conservation issues,  our goals are to gather novel information about local avian ecology, inform habitat restoration  and stewardship, and engage a diverse community in scientific data collection. In March – July  2024, Tracy Aviary, in partnership with the Utah Division of Wildlife (UDWR), is offering a 4- month internship that will provide on-the-ground experience in conservation science with a  focus on two large-scale data collection projects.  

  1) The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is the nation’s largest and longest running  community science project. Since it began in 1966, BBS has provided important information on  avian population trends across the continent; it is also instrumental for statewide bird  conservation and management in Utah. Utah has 99 active BBS routes, a low number for such a  large state. There is also a low survey completion rate, which, coupled with the low route  density, means that Utah trend data are sparse: fewer trends can be calculated, and trends for  Utah are less reliable and slower to show important changes. Further, none of the five regions  in Utah has complete coverage, which impairs our ability to document the current status or  distribution for many bird species of greatest conservation need. The Bird Conservation Intern  will assist with an ongoing project to recruit new volunteers to the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS)  in Utah and improve statewide data quality. 

  2) The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is a large network of researchers using automated radio  telemetry receiving stations that simultaneously track tagged birds, bats, and insects. Motus is  often used to investigate research questions about movement, migration, and population  ecology, and can guide conservation efforts by helping scientists better understand land use,  migration timing and patterns, and important stopover locations. The Bird Conservation intern  will assist in maintaining a network of Motus Wildlife Tracking stations that have recently been  built throughout Utah. They may also have the opportunity to support motus tagging, nest  monitoring, and coordination among researchers using Motus in the state. 

  Primary Duties: 

  • Facilitate coordination and communication to current BBS surveyors in Utah: encourage  communication between participants and the UDWR and provide resources so participants  can connect before and after their BBS experience 
  • Gather and compile information about BBS route coverage and completion rates • Implement an outreach campaign to recruit participants to the BBS program and encourage  survey completion by existing volunteers 
  • Facilitate coordination and communication between agencies and organizations that plan to  install and maintain Motus towers in the state of Utah 
  • Assist in data entry, management, and analyses 
  • Assist in other duties related to Tracy Aviary’s Conservation Science Program as needed 

  Position Dates: mid-March to mid-July 2024 (4 months, start and end dates flexible), 20 hours/week 

  Stipend: $1000/month 

  Job Qualifications:  

  • Background and/or demonstrated experience in biology or ecology 
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills and the ability to organization and  coordinate large groups of people 
  • Experience working with volunteers/members of the public  
  • A good team player, but able to work independently 
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office suite 
  • Knowledge of ornithology and field techniques preferred 
  • Experience with data entry and analysis preferred (including ArcGIS, R, and/or other  statistical software) 

  To Apply: Send a cover letter describing relevant experience and skills, a resume, and contact  information for three references to Cooper Farr (cooperf@tracyaviary.org) by March 10, 2024.  Applications will be reviewed as they are received.
