What is citizen science?
Citizen science is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur scientists. Citizen science is sometimes described as "public participation in scientific research." It's an important way we can all contribute to our global scientific knowledge, and no special training is needed on your part!

What birds can you see from your window?
Download the free iNaturalist app from the App store. Create an account and make sure to log any birds you see. Join our project “Birds of Coronado” so we can show how we are working together.
