Citizen Science

From backyards and city streets to remote forests, anyone who counts birds can contribute to the Lab's research. Data from the projects linked below are used to monitor bird populations and outline conservation efforts.

What is citizen science?
It is a partnership between the public and professional scientists. People across the continent are gathering data to better understand and conserve birds.

Who can participate?
EVERYONE is invited to participate! No matter your location, age, or experience we have a project for you.

How do I participate?
Each project has easy-to-follow instructions describing how to count the birds and record additional information. Once you have submitted your data to the Lab you have succeeded as a citizen scientist and contributed valuable data to bird conservation and population monitoring efforts.
