NestWatch

You are a member of one of the world's largest research teams!  Your observations will be added to a continually growing database that is used to monitor population trends, nesting phenology, and the behavior of birds across the country.  Through our collective efforts, we are gathering information that can be used to effectively conserve birds everywhere.  Together we can make a difference.

Think outside the box!  NestWatch collects data on all types of nests, so the next time that you are checking your nest box please take a quick look around and see if there might be a nest in a nearby shrub or tree.

This project is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under grant No. 0540185. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in these materials are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
