As one Pileated Woodpecker snacks on suet, watch a second Pileated Woodpecker make its way over from. We're All Close To Birds! Bogota Celebrates its Birds. February 2. 5th – March 3rd, 2. What We Do Citizen Sciencee. Bird. Susan Spear/Cornell Lab e. Bird’s global reach allows birders to keep track of their personal lists and collects vast amounts of data that can be used for science and conservation. Project Feeder. Watch Maria Corcacas/PFWEach year, thousands of people in the United States count birds at their feeders from November through early April for Project Feeder. Watch, enabling scientists to monitor changes in the distribution and abundance of birds. Using Feeder. Watch data, scientists have studied the influence of non- native species on native bird communities, examined the association between birds and habitats, and tracked unpredictable movements in winter bird populations. Launched in 2. 00. ![]()
National Science Foundation, Nest. Watch is building an unmatched database which, combined with historic data, is helping scientists understand how breeding birds are affected climate change, urbanization, and land use. Participants watch for 1. The project also assesses the value of green spaces for birds. Celebrate Urban Birds partners with thousands of community groups to distribute educational kits in English and Spanish, and to support local bird, habitat, and art events with mini- grants. Great Backyard Bird Count Joan Condon/GBBCThe four- day Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a global event, integrated with the e. Bird online checklist program. Bird watchers of all skill levels are welcome. Participants submit observations from more than 1. The count is a joint project of the Cornell Lab and Audubon with Canadian partner, Bird Studies Canada. Habitat Network. Habitat Network is a community of people interested in creating wildlife- friendly habitat in the places we live and work. Participants map their property, explore how collective efforts to transform yards and urban landscapes into more diverse habitat may support wildlife, and connect with others seeking to make room for the natural world within residential areas. The Habitat Network is a join project the Cornell Lab and The Nature Conservancy. Citizen- science programs such as Project Feeder. Watch are invaluable for collecting consistent information across large areas over time. Citizen- science researchers use long- term data, cross- validation with other surveys, and modern statistical approaches to detect patterns, investigate mechanisms, and understand changes among bird populations. Brown/MLClimate has an enormous influence on where birds survive and reproduce. In the short term, weather can influence the timing of migration, territory establishment, breeding, and egg laying. Over the long term, species have adapted to seasonal weather trends. We combine data from citizen- science projects with long- term weather data to examine climate's role in the changes we are seeing in the ranges of some bird species, as well as the timing and outcomes of breeding. House Finch Eye Disease Judy Howle/GBBC. During the winter of 1. House Finches with red, swollen eyes. The cause was a mutated form of bacteria common in poultry. Within three years, roughly 6. House Finches in eastern North America were dead. Our Bird Population Studies researchers launched a citizen- science program called the House Finch Disease Survey to document the spread of the disease and they continue to investigate why the bacteria has been so persistent and successful. Data Analysis Toolkits David Bonter/PFW Using new techniques to analyze millions of data records, we study how bird distribution and abundance change through time and geographical space. We start by identifying large- scale patterns. This seemingly basic task is challenging because bird observations are unevenly distributed across the continent and are influenced by observers’ ability to detect birds. In collaboration with statistical and computer scientists, our researchers are developing novel methods to analyze data collected by both ornithologists and citizen- science participants. Breeding Bird Atlases Online. We create Internet tools enabling Breeding Bird Atlases to collect and display data online. Atlases bring volunteer bird watchers and ornithologists together to find as many breeding bird species as possible in intensively sampled areas throughout a region. Atlases provide valuable information that can be used to set conservation priorities, including designation of protected areas, and can help monitor the outcomes of conservation management actions. On its interactive display, visitors can see which birds are being reported at the site, contribute their own observations, and enjoy photos, sounds, and life history information. The observations become part of the e. Bird database, which stores and displays data from across the world.
