The data we have on bird populations are excellent. Since birds are relatively easy to find, capture, band, mark, and track, they are ideal to study. You can read more about avian migration , biogeography, avian ecology, and communities in Ornithology.com's lectures.
Keeping
tabs on the numbers of birds has many purposes. If there are significant
changes
to any bird populations, it may signal other changes in the habitat(s)
or changes in other organisms' populations.Birds
are excellent early warning systems and we need take heed! Through such projects
as Feeder Watch
and the Audubon
Christmas Counts, the general public has the opportunity to provide data
to scientists- this is one of the few areas of science where amateurs and
professionals can work together toward a common goal.
