The OPAS Western Bluebird/Climate Watch Study needs volunteers from May 15 to June 15, 2023. How does the survey work? You pick a day during the survey period (May 15-June 15). Set aside 5 minutes of your time; count every bird that you see or hear in this 5 minute period. You may select anywhere from 1-12 locations to do your survey but each location must be reported on a separate checklist.

We’re especially interest in targeting the following species: Western Bluebird, Spotted Towhee, American Goldfinch and the Red-breasted Nuthatch.
