Database Access

Welcome to the Waterbird Monitoring Database! This database is made possible by the participation of monitoring partners throughout the Americas, who conduct surveys of waterbirds and voluntarily contribute their data to this centralized location. As of May 2002, this database contains data from the coastal surveys conducted in the mid 1990s from Maine to Georgia, funded by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, in addition to information published in a number of colonial waterbird atlases in the United States and Canada. In the near future, data from the Cornell Waterbird Register and the US Fish and Wildlife Service-sponsored Great Lakes waterbird surveys will become available. Over time, the utility of the database will grow, as partners throughout the Americas contribute data. We encourage you to join forces and enhance our ability to track waterbird populations throughout their ranges by contributing your own data.

You must be a registered user to enter data. If you wish to become a registered user, please go to Data Registration.
