Extra time on your hands? Missing making contributions to Community Science that impact birds?

"Impact of social distancing on birds" is a UW survey under the supervision of Graduate Student, Olivia Sanderfoot, of the UW School of Environmental and Forest Sciences, College of the Environment. The current survey window runs through June 30, and individuals are welcome to join at any point. After selecting a site, the methodology is for participants to perform a 10-minute stationary "point count" at least once a week, and enter into eBird. It is hoped that volunteers will collect comparison data in 2021.
