Citizen science

Contribute to scientific understanding of birds through citizen science!

Our citizen science section explains how backyard birdwatchers can participate in real ornithological research. You'll find lists of citizen science bird projects, details on how to get involved, and how observations by non-scientists make a difference.

By reporting bird sightings, birders of all levels can advance avian conservation and expand our collective knowledge about birds.
