I already sent my nest records to Project Nestwatch or the ONRS. What should I do?
Nest records should only be submitted once so if you have already sent them to a regional scheme, please do not create a duplicate entry here. However, if you are experienced at safely monitoring breeding bird nests, please contact the OBBC coordinator (ottawabirds@sympatico.ca). We have a more detailed field sheet that is closely modelled after Bird Studies Canada’s Project NestWatch and collects some more detailed information on the type of habitat and human landuse surrounding the nest that are particularly relevant to birds in urban areas. Send us an email and we’ll ask you a few quick questions that will help us fill in the blanks.
