We need you as a Backyard Bird Monitor

Can you help?
Become a Backyard Bird Monitor. Backyard bird monitoring involves counting the birds seen in one’s backyard, a local park or other area of choice over a period of half an hour between the 14th and 22nd of each month (except July, when we ask that you monitor for one hour to coincide with the National Bird Survey). Only the largest number seen at one time of each species is recorded. Monitoring can be conducted at any time of day, but please note the time on your monitoring form. If you don’t know a sparrow from a song thrush, now is a great time to learn. A useful resource is http://www.whatbird.co.nz/.
