Welcome to Black Swamp Bird Observatory's fun and educational
online series, Birding at Home! This month we're featuring WARBLERS! Here's how it works. Each month, the BSBO research and education teams will hide several bird images throughout various websites. Your job as a field assistant is to locate every bird, collect and record several data points, and submit your research for analysis. |
Participants who submit a completed and accurate data sheet will earn a place on the
BSBO BIRD RESEARCH WALL OF FEATHERED FAME.
