Mountain Birdwatch is a Vermont Center for Ecostudies' citizen science initiative to engage hikers and wildlife enthusiasts, and to harness the power of the public to conduct wildlife monitoring for high-elevation birds of the spruce-fir forests of eastern New York and northern New England. With several hundred citizen scientists participating each June, Mountain Birdwatch provides the only region-wide source of population information for species such as Bicknell's Thrush, Blackpoll Warbler, Boreal Chickadee, Winter Wren, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher and Fox Sparrow. All Mountain Birdwatch data are publicly available (we support open science) and we publish our research in open access journals (e.g., https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ecs2.1921).
You hiked deep in to the mountains...climbed up to the spruce-fir zone...climbed into your tent at 7:30 pm....arose before dawn the next day....and counted 11 under-appreciated species via point counts...all in the name of science and conservation. Treat yourself to a shirt--you deserve this.
Find out more and adopt a route for this June at http://mountainbirdwatch.org. You don't have to be an expert--just enthusiastic.
