The Spark Bird Project
The Spark Bird Project is an ongoing community science initiative designed to gather and share the stories of people’s passion for birds. Research findings go directly back to community partners to inform their efforts towards inclusively sparking and sustaining birders.
What is YOUR Spark Bird story?
Become a Spark Birder by sharing your Spark Bird story today!
You will also have the opportunity to share more than one story and stories in memory of someone along with your thoughts on the benefits, barriers, resources, and opportunities in birding!
Findings from The Spark Bird Project will help our partner organizations learn how to better spark and sustain the birding community!
