Become a NestWatcher
Ornithologists (bird scientists) need you! As a NestWatcher, your observations will be added to those of thousands of other NestWatchers in a growing database used by researchers to understand and study birds.
Cornell University is looking for NestWatchers to help collect data about nesting birds. Here's what you'll need to become a citizen scientist!
Birding Basics:
- Get certified.
- Find nests to watch (binoculars are helpful).
- Visit your nests every 3 or 4 days and record what you see.
-
Report your data using online data entry tools.
- Share your pictures with other NestWatchers.
