Survey local habitat for nesting and migration activity

About the Role

Point count surveys are the standard method for monitoring bird populations. Volunteers stand at fixed points for a set time and record every bird seen or heard. Data is submitted through eBird and incorporated into regional analyses.

What to Expect

• Surveys run early morning (30–90 minutes per point)
• Training session before your first outing covers the protocol
• All ages welcome; great beginner introduction to field ornithology
