Mission Statement
The San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory is a nonprofit science organization dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats through science and outreach, and to contributing to informed resource management decisions in the Bay Area.
Description
The Bird Observatory was founded in 1981 by a group of enthusiastic biology students from San Jose State University.

Our biologists work with nearly 100 volunteers in our fieldwork.
