If the Detroit River Hawk Watch Raptor volunteer position sounds interesting but you are not quite certain your eyes are up for the challenge of counting hawks high in the air, perhaps this position is more appealing! Our counters would love to chat with the many visitors who stop by the counting site but they need to keep their eyes on the sky to keep an accurate count.
This position alleviates that dilemma. You can join the Hawk Watch folks on any count day to learn about their survey methods, then provide this information to visitors as they stop by to chat. It is the best of both worlds - the counters will keep you up to date on new sightings, you will learn more than you thought possible about hawk migration, and you will have a chance to interact with visitors from all over the world!
Volunteers will be responsible for the entrance fee at Lake Erie Metropark ($10/day or $40/year). Position available September 1 -November 30, each year.

Mission Statement
Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.
The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.
The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
