Anyone can monitor nests - it's a rewarding way to spend time outdoors and participate in science.

NestWatch is a continentwide citizen-science project and nest-monitoring database of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, funded by the National Science Foundation and developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. 

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.

Winter Activites
Keep busy during the winter. Check out Project FeederWatch, Birdsleuth, or even the Nest Monitors' Resource Center. All should provide enough bird biology to last the winter.

 

 

Featured Participants
Whatever your story is, NestWatch would like to hear it. Send stories, and any pictures that may go with them, to nestwatch@cornell.edu with the subject title "nest watching story". Great stories will be told on the Featured Participants page.
 

 

100,000 Nest Attempts
 Achieving 100,000 nest attempts would be a remarkable feat! Help us reach that mark. Be the person who enters the 100,000th attempt and receive a brand new set of binoculars! Remember, data for 2009 must be entered by December 31st, 2009.
