32 Mandahl Bird Species Used in Global Distribution Pattern Study
Bird tracking results from 2021 monitoring of Mandahl Bay have been used by Cornell University scientists to boost understanding of bird abundance and distribution planet-wide.
Cornell University’s Cornell Lab of Ornithology operates the ebird program #eBirdScience globally through a vast network of volunteer citizen scientists.
Over the years Camp Umoja & the Environmental Rangers and ClimateChangeVI.org, have submitted regular volunteer observations to eBird.
As a result, new bird data has entered science archives on Caribbean migration arrival and departure patterns as well as abundance, breeding cycles and feeding habits.
The US Fish and Wildlife service stated that the high biodiversity [of Mandahl Bay] makes the area ideal for environmental restoration projects and education. We conduct bird observations both day and night (yes, there is a lot of night time bird activity at Mandahl!) and invite anyone to join the eBird team and assist in bird science.
Birding can be done from anywhere and is easy to do while being COVID safe.
