Abstract

The Gulf Coast Bird Observatory works with a network of site partners that protect habitat for birds throughout the Gulf of Mexico region. The habitats in the Gulf Coast region are of special importance to many species of birds. A coordinated network of partners provides unique, large‑scale research opportunities. Central to good conservation is having a solid base of population data to work from. The four research projects coordinated by the GCBO are: Migration Monitoring, Project Prairie Birds, Smith Point Hawk Watch, and the Columbia Bottomlands Forest Bird Study Group. The status of these and other research projects at partner sites will be discussed, as well as the potential for expanding research and making it more effective at addressing conservation questions.
