Songbird Nest Box Monitors NeededCommunity science is for the birds: UGA Aquarium volunteers monitor nest  boxes on the coast

Do you love birds? Do you especially love baby birds?

You can be one of our volunteers that monitor songbird nest boxes at Monches (Hartland), Nashotah Park (Nashotah), and along the Fox River Greenway (Big Bend)!

A monitor volunteer visits each box once a week March 15 - Sept 30; determines which species is using it; counts eggs, hatchlings, and fledglings; and performs minor maintenance. 10 or more boxes per location.

Get started: Submit a Volunteer Interest Form!
Tip: In "area of interest" field (#9), select "citizen science." For question #18, enter "nest box monitoring."
