Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
As we get to the bottom of our card-catalog drawers, we are finding random cards or species that were overlooked. Keep a look-out, we'll be rerunning old projects with recently discovered data!
Uncover secrets to North American warblers by transcribing their historical nest records.

Message from the researcher
The work of citizen scientists, such as those who contribute to NestWatch, is what makes our research possible. Because of the efforts of nest monitors, we are able to look at patterns over long periods of time and large geographic areas.
Nest Quest Go: WarblersAbout Nest Quest Go: Warblers
Join the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's citizen-science project NestWatch in understanding the historical nesting patterns of North American Warblers. Warblers are of special concern as small migratory birds, whose populations are sensitive to changes. As higher canopy nesters, their nesting behaviors and life cycle is filled with unsolved mysteries.
These nest record cards are a subset of a larger collection of more than 300,000 nest records that NestWatch is working on digitizing and transcribing. Valuable scientific questions can be asked and answered regarding the nesting behavior of birds over time by examining historical records. We hope to bring new discoveries to light using these previously hidden datasets.
