From Stephen Living - Wildlife Biologist for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
"We have a number of volunteers with experience in Identifying birds - along with dgif staff experienced with handling raptors. While all of our "official volunteer" spots are filled you can still feel free to join us downtown in the area around Riverfront Plaza (951 East Bryd Street) tomorrow and Wednesday. You'll be able to ID DGIF staff by our bright orange hats and green polo shirts. Hopefully we will see the young birds fly well and need no assistance. In this case volunteers will help us track where the young birds perch so we can monitor them. Should the fledglings have any problems biologists will be on hand to intervene as necessary.
We'll be placing the door opening mechanism on at about 9:15am (give or take) the door will open 1-3 hours later and then the waiting begins. Our fledge watch effort will last until about 8 pm and start again at about 9 am on Wednesday through 8 - that evening."
