All across North America, thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds are participating in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's research projects. From backyards and city streets to remote forests, these people represent the world's largest research team. We call them citizen scientists.

Educators! The Lab's citizen-science projects work great in elementary and middle-school classrooms. They promote scientific inquiry through children's natural fascination with birds.
