Why Your Support Matters
For nearly four decades, the Backyard Winter Bird Survey has connected thousands of Granite Staters with the birds outside their windows. This participatory science project has revealed long-term changes in New Hampshire’s bird populations—documenting everything from the rise of Eastern Bluebirds to shifts in winter finch numbers. Your support ensures that we can:
- Collect and analyze high-quality data that guides bird conservation.
- Share findings with educators, policymakers, and communities.
- Provide tools and resources for birdwatchers of all ages.
- Inspire the next generation of nature stewards.
