Do you have any feathered friends nesting in your yard? If so, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology would like to hear from you.

They have established a Nest Watch program to help gather breeding bird information across the North American continent.

Nest watchers are invited to register their nest box (or boxes) at  the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Register Your Nestbox program. It’s free and yields valuable information about breeding birds and how their natural rhythms may be changing.

Everything you need to register your nest box and get started is available online, including directions on how you can monitor nest boxes without disturbing the birds.

Popular NestCams are back in action! Peek into nests and nest boxes via live cameras focused on Eastern Bluebirds, Barred Owls, Wood Ducks, Barn Owls and more.
