About Nest Quest Go: Chickadee-dee
Join the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Citizen-Science Project, NestWatch in understanding the nesting patterns of chickadees. This collection consists of all the chickadee species found in North America--Black-capped, Mountain, Boreal, Carolina and Chestnut-backed Chickadees.
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.
