Citizen Science Opportunity! Become a Nest Box Monitor

Bluebird
Nest Box Monitors; an example of Citizen Science.

Are you passionate about wildlife observation and preservation? Our bluebird nest boxes provide homes for the Eastern Bluebird population, which was dangerously low just a few short decades ago. Nest Box Monitors are assigned their own boxes to monitor throughout the season and are responsible for reporting their observations back to the program coordinator. This data is then compiled and sent to Cornell Lab of Ornithology as part of a nationwide survey.

We are currently looking for the following positions:

  • Nest Box Monitors
  • Nest Box Maintenance
Nest Boxes are located at several of our Oakland County Parks and assigned by request by the program coordinator. Interested individuals should complete a New Adult Application or New Minor Application from the volunteer page of our website:
