Bird Observer is a New England-based bimonthly journal created by birders for birders. It is a private nonprofit corporation supported by subscribers and produced entirely by an all-volunteer staff. If you are interested in being part of the future of New England's birding journal, let us know. Some of the positions we are looking for:

Proof Reader:  We're looking for a skilled proofreader to examine page proofs for errors before we go to press. The successful candidate will proof copy in pdf format with the aid of a checklist, and return the annotated copy by email within 3-4 days.  This position requires meticulous attention to detail, fast turnaround, and scheduling flexibility. The proofreader works directly with the Production Editor.

Web Cruiser: We're looking for a web-savvy someone to evaluate birding pages and blogs and help formulate strategies for Bird Observer's web presence.

Copy Editor: We are looking for an experienced copy editor. 

Promote Bird Observer: Bring promotional materials to your bird club meeting, help man the display at the Birders Meeting, or find new advertisers for the journal. You choose. 

Mailing Assistant: Every two months we have to stick on labels to mail the journal; if you live near the Medford area, volunteer to help out. 

Bird Sightings: One of our most important missions to to maintain a database of bird sightings. If you have a good handle on bird distribution throughout the year, help us enter current data. Or, help us enter data from journals prior to the current 1994 start date. 

Write an Article: If you have a special place you like to bird, or have observed some fascinating bird behavior, write about it, and submit it for publication.
