Collecting data for Project Phoenix is easy! You pick where and when you’d like to monitor birds. Once a week, you survey birds for 10 minutes and share your observations with us.
Our program is open to all birders and bird enthusiasts, regardless of previous birding experience – we encourage beginner birders to participate. There is no cost of participation.
Read our survey instructions and check out our resources on species identification. Still have questions? Connect with our team. We are here to support you!
Community Observations
Have you observed any unusual bird behavior on smoky days? When it’s smoky, do you observe the same species or different species? Are birds more or less abundant? Or, perhaps you've been surprised to observe no obvious shifts in the behavior, abundance, or diversity of birds in your neighborhood – even in the smoke.
Your observations power our research. Consider sharing your story with our team.
