Urban Surveys

Interactive Map showing locations of surveys

Houston Audubon conducts bird surveys across the region. This critical community science effort gathers data that will help scientists evaluate population changes and understand which species might require special management. Survey leaders engage participants of all birding skills, and it’s a great way to be introduced to the joys of birdwatching!
