Webinar Summary:
Climate change is the biggest threat to birds around the world. Learn how you can help by counting climate-threatened species in Audubon’s bird and climate change community science program—Climate Watch.

Webinar Description:
Audubon’s 2022 Climate Watch winter season is kicking off soon (January 15 through February 15), and volunteers are needed to participate in this community science effort. Climate Watch is a national project to explore how birds are responding to climate change. The groundbreaking report Survival by Degrees: 389 Bird Species on the Brink used used Climate Watch data to expand the details of bird migration and distribution. Explore the implications of climate change for birds in Bexar County here.

Bexar Audubon Society is leading the project in our area this year, and we are seeking volunteer birders to participate in surveying for Lesser Goldfinch in specific 10 km x10 km squares across our region. Learn more about how climate change will reshape the range of the Lesser Goldfinch.

Requirements: A time commitment of 2-4 hours at least once between January 15 and February 15 to survey at least one 10km x10km section for the Lesser Goldfinch. You can enter your data into eBird via phone app then submit it to National Audubon through a designated portal.
