The Problem
We want to participate in valuable citizen science in our community by helping to monitor and report information about local songbird populations observed at our feeding stations and around our campus. We want the community to be aware of our project and mindful of songbirds they see themselves. We will participate in several community gatherings throughout the year to spread the word about what we're doing and how people can make and monitor their own feeding stations. In addition to the weekly data we gather for eBird, we'll count how many school and community events we attend in order to disseminate information and support. Through the school newsletter, we'll ask for people to share their experiences with our viewing stations or ones they create themselves.
