Celebrate Urban Birds

Here is all you need to participate in Celebrate Urban Birds! You can download, copy, and share materials.

Please register (for free).  We would like as many people as possible to participate in Celebrate Urban Birds and use the project resources. The 10-minute bird observation is at the heart of the project and the kit materials support that 10-minute citizen science observation, but there are lots of other materials and resources on the web site.
