Climate Watch Bird Surveys Commence May 15
Looking for an opportunity to make your bird sightings meaningful to Audubon’s climate scientists? Consider adopting a Climate Watch plot and visiting it once between May 15-June 15 in search of target species that have been identified as indicators of environmental shifts. Observers follow a simple protocol and submit data on smart phones either through Audubon’s app or eBird. Learn more here.
