BirdSleuth is a curriculum that supports students and educators in inquiry about birds. We want to bring "citizen science" into schoolyards nationwide. Students learn to identify birds through resources such as colorful bird focus cards, field guides, and a bird identification CD-ROM. We encourage student groups to send data they collect about their local birds to us via this eBird website. Through BirdSleuth, elementary and middle school students engage in scientific inquiry by making careful observations of birds, asking questions based on their observations, gathering data to answer those questions, and sharing their findings.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a nonprofit membership institution that interprets and conserves the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds. Founded in 1915 by pioneering ornithologist Dr. Arthur A. Allen, the Lab continues to build on "Doc" Allen’s recognition of the significant contribution that bird watchers can make to ornithology by providing unique opportunities for birders to participate in hands-on science and conservation efforts.
