Welcome — Northeast Coordinated Bird Monitoring

The Northeast Coordinated Bird Monitoring Partnership

is a cooperative effort to align and strengthen bird monitoring programs in the Northeast. State, federal, and non-governmental organizations have teamed up to develop a coordinated approach to monitoring avian abundance, distribution, and demographics in the thirteen states of US Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 (CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA, VT, and WV). This initiative will help build the fundamental basis for science-based bird conservation in the Northeast, while providing a model for coordinated monitoring in other regions.

The Northeast Coordinated Bird Monitoring Partnership offers a variety of tools and resources to support bird monitoring activities in the region, including an organizing framework, annual workshops, a project implementation fund, and a data management system. For more information, please browse the links. To request periodic updates, please contact

the coordinator. Thank you for your interest!

The Northeast Coordinated Bird Monitoring partnership is administered by American Bird Conservancy in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The project was developed by Northeast Partners In Flight, Northeast Shorebird Conservation Plan and Mid-Atlantic/New England/Maritimes Waterbird Conservation Plan, in concert with the US North American Bird Conservation Initiative's Monitoring Subcommittee. It is made possible by a Multistate Conservation Grant awarded by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, with assistance from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. We gratefully acknowledge the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Programs of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which funds the Multistate Conservation Program.
