This year I am participating in NestWatch, a continent-wide nest-monitoring program that aims to provide a unified scheme to track reproductive success for all North American breeding birds. NestWatch teaches people about bird breeding biology and engages them in collecting and submitting nest records. NestWatch http://www.nestwatch.org/ is developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in collaboration with the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, and funded by the National Science Foundation. Currently I am monitoring a bluebird nestbox, a house wren nest, a chickadee snag box, and searching for the nest sites of hummingbirds, cardinals, catbirds, and red-wing blackbirds that frequent the wild woods.
During November to April I participate in FeederWatch http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/
