Join us a as volunteer and assist the Lake Michigan Bird Observatory in monitoring the water quality and aquatic macroinvertebrate populations at 3 local waterways. Just like humans, all bird species need clean water. Many of our passerine and insectivore bird species rely on invertebrates species that begin their lifecycles in our waterways.
Creekside Chirper volunteers will be responsible for measuring and recording water temperature, flow, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, depth and biotic index.

Our Mission and Our Vision To advance the conservation of birds in Wisconsin and throughout the Western Great Lakes Region through coordinated research, monitoring, and education. We envision a day when knowledge of birds is widespread, decisions affecting them are based on good science, and citizens care about conservation and participate in it so that common species are kept common and imperiled populations are restored.
