International Shorebird Survey
The International Shorebird Survey is a volunteer-based monitoring program that collects data on shorebirds across the Americas. Through standardized counts, volunteers contribute to a global effort to understand and conserve migratory shorebirds and the habitats they depend on.
Christmas Bird Count
Every winter, birders and nature enthusiasts join the Christmas Bird Count, a time-honored community science project that has monitored North American bird populations for more than a century. By spending a day in the field counting every bird seen or heard, participants contribute valuable data to one of the longest-running community science efforts in the world.
