Citizen Science and Birds in the Balance

The Birds in the Balance Commiteee conducts bird censuses in a variety of areas at the request of government agencies, private citizens or businesses. The goal is provide those responsible for land management with data for making land use decisions that takes wildlife into account.

Each census area is usually surveyed once a month, for a 12-month period. This gives us good background data of the birds found on the site.

This committee is always looking for more volunteers to help with this important work. You will receive full training on how to conduct censuses or you may start by assisting more experienced volunteers with on-going surveys.
