Cornell Lab of Ornithology
The Lab is a non-profit membership institution whose mission is to interpret and conserve the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds. Cornell’s programs work with citizen scientists, government and non-government agencies across North America and beyond. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology believes that bird enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels can and do make a difference.

Great Backyard Bird Count
The GBBC is a joint project of Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society and is sponsored by Wild Birds Unlimited. It takes place over four days each February. Simply count the birds! Count the numbers of birds and the species variety. You can count in your backyard or any location you like for at least 15 minutes on one or more of the count days and then simply report the information online at http://gbbc.birdcount.org/
The Great Backyard Bird Count gives you the opportunity to make a difference by participating in this annual event which links citizens with scientists in an effort to collect important data about backyard birds. This extensive information data base is analyzed by scientists to better understand important trends in bird populations, range expansions, habitat changes and shifts in migration patterns.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology operates Project FeederWatch in partnership with the National Audubon Society, Bird Studies Canada and Canadian Nature Federation. The program relies on volunteers to count birds at their backyard feeders once every two weeks from November to April. The information helps scientists gain a better understanding of population trends and movements of birds and helps develop an awareness of North American feeder bird conservation efforts. Wild Birds Unlimited is a sponsor of this project.
Jim Carpenter, Founder & CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited, has hosted a camera-equipped owl box for almost 20 years. Set more than 30 feet high against the trunk of a pignut hickory tree, the box has been home to a series of occupants, including owls, squirrels and raccoons.
We are excited to partner with The Cornell Lab of Ornithology to give families world-wide a live glimpse into a Barred Owl nest box. Through our partnership we can live stream video from the WBU Barred Owl Cam and share it on our website and feature it in our store. The WBU Barred Owl Cam along with many more nest cams can also be seen at http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/
Cornell Lab of Ornithology ni taasisi isiyo ya faida ambayo inakusudia kuhifadhi na kuhifadhi utofauti wa kibiolojia wa dunia kupitia utafiti, elimu, na sayansi ya raia inayozingatia ndege. Programu za Cornell hufanya kazi na wanasayansi wa raia, mashirika ya serikali na yasiyo ya serikali kote Amerika ya Kaskazini na zaidi. Cornell Lab ya Ornithology inaamini kwamba wapenzi wa ndege wa umri wote na ngazi ya ujuzi wanaweza na kufanya tofauti. "Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, ""GNBC ni mradi wa pamoja wa Cornell Lab ya Ornithology na National Audubon Society na unafadhiliwa na Wild Birds Unlimited." Inafanyika kwa siku nne kila Februari. Hebu wahesabu ndege! Hesabu idadi ya ndege na aina mbalimbali. "Kama wewe ni mnyama, unaweza kuamua kuweka nafasi ya kuhifadhi ndege katika bustani yako au mahali popote unapopenda kwa dakika 15 au zaidi katika siku moja au zaidi ya ""kuhesabu"" na kisha tu kuripoti habari mtandaoni kwenye http: www.gbc.birdcount.org ""The Great Backyard Bird Count"" inakupa fursa ya kufanya tofauti kwa kushiriki katika tukio hili la kila mwaka ambalo linaunganisha wananchi na wanasayansi katika juhudi ya kukusanya data muhimu kuhusu ndege wa nyuma." Hifadhidata hii ya habari inachunguzwa na wanasayansi kuelewa vizuri mwenendo muhimu katika idadi ya ndege, upanuzi wa eneo, mabadiliko ya makazi na mabadiliko katika mifumo ya uhamiaji. Cornell Lab ya Ornithology inafanya kazi Project FeederWatch kwa ushirikiano na National Audubon Society, Bird Studies Canada na Canadian Nature Federation. Programu hiyo hutegemea wajitoleaji kuhesabu ndege katika vibanda vyao vya kulisha kila baada ya majuma mawili kuanzia Novemba hadi Aprili. Taarifa hizo zinawasaidia wanasayansi kuelewa vizuri mwenendo wa idadi ya ndege na harakati zao na pia kusaidia kuendeleza ufahamu wa juhudi za kuhifadhi ndege wa kulisha wa Amerika Kaskazini. Ndege wa Pori Wasio na Mpaka ni mdhamini wa mradi huu. Jim Carpenter, mwanzilishi na mkurugenzi mtendaji wa Wild Birds Unlimited, amekuwa mwenyeji wa sanduku la ndege lenye kamera kwa karibu miaka 20. Imewekwa zaidi ya futi 30 juu ya shina la mti wa pignut hickory, sanduku hilo limekuwa nyumbani kwa mfululizo wa wakazi, ikiwa ni pamoja na owls, squirrels na raccoons. "Tunafurahi kushirikiana na Maabara ya Cornell ya Ornithology kutoa familia ulimwenguni kote kuona moja kwa moja sanduku la kiota cha Barred Owl. """ Kwa kushirikiana na WBU, tunaweza kusambaza video moja kwa moja kutoka WBU Barred Owl Cam na kuishiriki kwenye wavuti yetu na kuionyesha kwenye duka letu. WBU Barred Owl Cam na kamera nyingi zaidi za kiota zinaweza pia kuonekana kwenye http: cams.allaboutbirds.org
