The data that exist for birds are just so incredible, from 50 years of the North American Breeding Bird Survey and the Christmas Bird Counters from 100 years ago, on to the eBirders of today.”2 Not all species are suffering precipitous de- clines. Raptors, waterfowl, and game birds have expanded their populations. This too points to the importance of efforts by citizen scientists, even before the term was widely adopted to describe the behavior of observant birders. Con- servation efforts initiated when population de- clines were identified by birders, hunters and scientists spurred actions to protect habitat and reduce pesticide use, allowing these species to begin to rebound. Thanks to our members’ participation, DOS has a long track record of contributing towards citizen science initiatives: Coordinating Christmas Bird Counts throughout the state each year, mobilizing volunteers to census birds Organizing dozens of field trips annually across the region, producing eBird lists doc- umenting sightings Facilitating two hawk watches at Ashland Nature Center and Cape Henlopen, contrib- uting daily reports to the Hawk Migration Association of North America during migra- tion Supporting Cornell’s NestWatch program, offering training to volunteers who monitor songbird nest boxes during breeding season and submit their observations Any birdwatcher knows that our avian neighbors are inextricably linked to their ecosys- tems and the other creatures who reside there.
