Project NestWatch

March 1, 2006 - March 24, 2009 | Media and Technology, Public Programs
Cornell University, Seavoss Associates, Inc. and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) developed two citizen science projects and related research: 1) "Project Nestwatch" including "Virtual Nestwatch," an online exhibit and data collection project that enables individuals to participate in data collection from their home computers; 2) "National Nest Registry," field-based and focused on species that participants may find in their backyard or local community. The projects increased public understanding of bird biology, ecology, life cycles, environmental issues and the research process while encouraging careers in science.
