HERE'S THE STORY:
KuzeyDoga Society provides volunteer opportunities within its projects. KuzeyDoga Society has two bird ringing (banding) stations. One is in Yukari Ciyrikli village of Tuzluca district, by the Aras River in Igdir province, and the other is by Lake Kuyucuk in the Arpacay district of Kars province. KuzeyDoga Society runs these stations both in the fall and in the spring. There are ringing and birdwatching activities at the Aras station between the dates March 15-May 30 and August 15-October 30, five months a year. At Lake Kuyucuk, we conduct ringing (especially shorebirds) and count waterfowl between the dates April 15 - May 30 and September 1 - October 30.
You can come and join our ringing program, especially if you are a licensed ringer. If not, there are other things to do in the stations and you can contribute and learn a lot about birds. Each station is run with an average of 4-5 people and they are responsible for checking nets, collecting birds, entering data, conducting orientation experiments, preparing foodt and other station related jobs. These are excellent opportunities to birdwatch, learn bird research techniques, help conserve birds and have a great outdoor experience with fellow nature enthusiasts in a spectacular, beautiful and biodiverse part of Turkey.
