The HCA is currently seeking an experienced Avian Biologist, for the Hamilton Natural Areas Inventory Project (NAI) for a project during the spring and fall migratory bird season. The NAI project is an inventory of significant natural areas in the City of Hamilton, and is being undertaken so that current information on plant and wildlife species, vegetation communities, and natural area site boundaries is available for agencies which are responsible for protecting and enhancing natural features and biodiversity. NAIs have been completed every ten years, since 1993. The current NAI is building on earlier work and is focusing on data gaps in order to provide a baseline for measuring the state of Hamilton’s biodiversity, including the impacts of climate change. This project involves conducting migratory bird surveys in defined near shore areas at nine municipal parks in the City of Hamilton. This will also include reporting and data management.
