[singlepic id=463 w=250 h=200 float=left]As in winter 2009/2010 a synchronous winter census of Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) will be developed in Romania in this winter too, between December 2010 and March 2011. Same as in previous winter, several European countries also manifest the willingness to participate in this program. Synchronous shall be done by a standard method, identical for each country and it is addressed for all the volunteers who want to get involved in it. Whit the help of this program we can get clearer picture about the number of the wintering Long-eared Owls in different regions of the country, about the different wintering habitats, but also about the different incidental threats. Therefore, the involvement of as many volunteers as possible is welcome. In Romania, the coordinator of the program is the “Milvus Group” Association. If you decided to participate in this activity, please send the filled form of your census for the mentioned address (form available only in Hungarian and Romanian). For additional information and questions about the census, please contact the coordinator at: sanduandreeasteriana(arond)yahoo.com
