Get Involved in Citizen Science
The State of the Birds report was made possible by the efforts of thousands of citizen-science participants. Scientific studies of bird population and distribution on a continentwide scale require long-term observational data gathered by legions of citizen scientists. Projects can be as simple as taking note of birds at backyard feeders, or may require stricter protocols in specified areas.
