We do science to better understand our local bird populations and their habitats.
We share our data with scientists, policymakers, community leaders, and Bay Area residents who use it to preserve the beauty and biodiversity of our region.

We do outreach because we know science
​is only half of the equation.
​We engage hundreds of volunteers each year in community science projects and offer opportunities for the public to enjoy birds, habitats, and learn about conservation.
