Current Avian Science Research and Habitat Restoration Projects<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We conduct avian research on Bay Area bird species and share our research with land managers, universities, conservation organizations, and the general public to help them answer key questions and make informed decisions that affect birds. We also work with partners and volunteers to protect birds from avian diseases and help them thrive in a changing environment and restore and enhance tidal marsh and salt pond habitats around the Bay. Please follow the links below to learn more about each of our research projects, view our science reports, and follow the community science button below them to volunteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
