Breeding Bird Survey

The Breeding Bird Survey is a scientific program that tracks the health and diversity of bird populations across regions. Conducted by trained volunteers and researchers, it involves visiting specific routes during the breeding season to count singing males and other birds, providing data on species presence, abundance, and trends over time. This information helps scientists monitor how bird populations are changing, which can indicate environmental health, habitat quality, and the impacts of factors like habitat loss or climate change. Overall, it’s a vital tool for understanding and conserving bird diversity.
