New! Urban Bird Studies DVD

Thanks to a grant from the Wallace Genetic Foundation, Urban Bird Studies has developed a bilingual English/Spanish DVD featuring seven award-winning Urban Bird Studies videos. The two-disc DVD includes an introduction to citizen science, instructional videos for each of the Urban Bird Studies projects, and fun bird guides. A separate PigeonWatch disc includes a lively introduction to PigeonWatching, instructions, and a pigeon color morph guide.

These exciting videos are a wonderful educational tool for families and educators. The DVD includes a handy guide to five common city birds that can be taken out into the field.

All Urban Bird Studies projects are free and engage people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities in citizen science.

To order the DVD ($5), please contact Urban Bird Studies at urbanbirds@cornell.edu or call (607) 254-2455. The movies on the DVD can also be seen online at www.urbanbirds.org
