Project NestWatch

Project NestWatch is a nationwide scientific program organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that involves monitoring and studying nests of birds. Volunteers and researchers gather data on nesting behaviors, success rates, and the health of bird populations. This information helps scientists understand how birds are adapting to environmental changes and informs conservation efforts. Participants often observe nesting sites, record behaviors, and report their findings to a central database. Overall, it’s a collaborative effort to enhance knowledge about bird species, their nesting habits, and ways to protect them for future generations.
