Help Survey Gulf Coast Birds
The ongoing oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico will undoubtedly impact bird populations in the region for years to come. How can you help? By getting out now and reporting the birds you find to eBird, your observations will provide a real-time snapshot of the region's birdlife, helping conservationists and researchers understand where, when, and how many of each species are currently occurring on local beaches and wetlands. If the oil does make landfall, we'll have recent data from all around the Gulf to help prioritize and focus conservation efforts. As time goes on, continued beach surveys will help conservationists assess the impacts of the spill. Act now! Survey birds tonight, tomorrow, and in the coming days on as many Gulf Coast beaches as possible. For details and to submit your observations please visit the eBird website gulf survey webpage.
