Vireo Needs Help
VIREO, at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, is in the middle of providing photographs for two national field guides and one regional guide. Matt Sharp will be going to grad school and will be cutting his hours way back. Vireo is looking for someone who is good at aging and sexing North American birds and is adept with computers to help us out. Vireo could either use two or three volunteers who would spend a day or two a week, or potentially they could hire someone for a month or so. If you are interested contact:
