Everyone is invited to participate in our citizen science program, from casual bird watchers to serious birders. We have a project for nearly any location, from the inner city to remote wilderness.
Most projects are great for families, youth groups, community centers, or home schoolers.
After you send your data, you can read about project results, which are presented on project web sites and in the Lab's quarterly newsletter, Birdscope . However, conducting citizen science and sending newsletters is expensive. We keep our costs as low as possible, largely through corporate and foundation sponsors . Most bird species range widely over large geographic areas. Because nobody can be everywhere at once, ornithologists who wish to study birds across their entire range face a challenge.
