Information about monitoring a nestbox

Volunteers of all ages are recruited in February to assist with monitoring the nest boxes from April through August. Volunteers will visit the boxes on a rotating basis once every two or three weeks to collect important nesting data. Additionally, volunteers help with the maintenance and repair of older nest boxes.

Volunteers are required to attend both the open house and monitor training to learn project background, species identification, monitoring tips and instructions for entering monitoring data to NestWatch, the online nationwide nest-monitoring program and database maintained by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
