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 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 citizen science opportunities & offer many opportunities for the public to enjoy birds and habitats and learn about conservation.

Since 1982, our biologists and citizen science volunteers have monitored local populations of herons, egrets, terns, other waterbirds during the breeding season at > 70 sites in the Bay Area

Monitoring & protecting borrowing owls has been a long time focus of the organization
