Marsh Watch

Welcome to MarshWatch!

MarshWatch is a new pilot program focused on wetland birds and amphibians for beginners.

Virtual webinars along with self-guided activities slowly build your identification skills without getting overwhelmed. The ultimate goal is to give you the skills to confidently submit a checklist of birds from a visit to a wetland of your choosing.

Live webinars take place every Wednesday evening, starting May 10 and run for 10 weeks, ending July 12. We encourage you to visit a wetland each week – there really is no better way to learn than to be out with the birds!
