Fieldwork for Nocturnal Owl Survey

04/09/2024

The Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) would like to inform the community that they will be conducting the Nocturnal Owl Survey on Thursday, April 11, 2024, from 8:30pm until midnight.

KEPO employees will be visiting 10 stations throughout the community. KEPO staff will be wearing high-visibility vests and vehicles will be marked. They will be broadcasting owl calls at each of the stations as part of the survey. All stations are located away from residences but please note that dogs may respond to the broadcast calls.

The Nocturnal Owl Survey is a nationwide initiative coordinated by Birds Canada and conducted by volunteers throughout Canada. The surveys are used to monitor the health of owl populations over time. This is KEPO’s fifth year participating in the survey, and we look forward to reporting our findings back to the community.

For more information, please contact KEPO at 450-635-0600 or environmentprotection@mck.ca.
