Subj: New NestWatch site - please  circulate!


Greetings,

The NestWatch team is excited to  announce that our new web site at 
_www.nestwatch.org_ (http://www.nestwatch.org/)  is now  live! 

NestWatch is a citizen-science project that teaches people how  to properly 
monitor nests and collect data used to track nesting success of  North American 
breeding birds. It has been designed for novices as well as  experienced nest 
monitors and includes an interactive quiz for participants to  become 
"certified" to monitor nests. 

NestWatch is free to join  and all materials needed to participate are 
available online. This includes  downloadable data collection sheets, the NestWatch 
manual, protocol, code of  conduct, discussion forums, and multimedia 
resources. All observations are  submitted online where they are accessible through 
maps or downloaded as Excel  or pdf files. 

The development of this web site as well as the  NestCams, has been quite an 
undertaking and includes the merging of The  Birdhouse Network into NestWatch. 
All the great materials developed for The  Birdhouse Network exist now as a 
resource center located at _www.nestinginfo.org. _ (http://www.nestinginfo.org. 
/) The Birdhouse Network and its focus  on cavity nesters was crucial to 
building a solid base of dedicated nest  monitors and enables us to now present 
the opportunity to monitor and report  on all nesting birds in North America.

You can use your existing  Birdhouse Network/Lab of Ornithology username and 
password for NestWatch. It  is not necessary to create a new account for each 
project you participate in.  If you are a new participant, please register 
today. 

Note, the  TBNNews-L one-way list serve will be renamed to NWnews-L, to 
encompass the new  project. You will automatically be subscribed to the new list.  

Although the web site continues to be a work in progress, check it  out at <_ 
www.nestwatch.org_ (http://www.nestwatch.org/) > and let us know what you 
think!  

As always please be in touch with any questions or suggestions and  feel free 
to circulate this e-mail to other interested parties and  organizations. 
Thank you for your continued support of citizen science  projects at the Cornell 
Lab of Ornithology.

Sincerely,

Tina  Phillips, Project Leader
