Existing AKN Access Nodes
The California Avian Data Center (CADC) serves as a repository of data, analysis tools and information for managing and conserving birds and their habitats throughout California. CADC contains resources about birds for researchers, people involved in habitat management, and interested public in California to assist them in their work.
RMBO Avian Data CenterRocky Mountain Bird Observatory has recently established the RMBO Avian Data Center which will serve as the portal to avian information collected by RMBO and collaborators within the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Intermountain West. We have made information available through this site to allow individuals involved in bird conservation access to information that can assist with the decision making process.
Northeast Avian Data CenterThe Northeast Avian Data Center is a cooperative effort to align and
strengthen bird monitoring programs in the Northeast. State,
federal, and non-governmental organizations have teamed up to develop a
coordinated approach to monitoring avian abundance, distribution, and
demographics in the thirteen states of US Fish and Wildlife Service
Region 5 (CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA, VT, and
WV). This initiative will help build the fundamental basis
for science-based bird conservation in the Northeast, while providing a
model for coordinated monitoring in other regions.
Bird Studies
Canada (Nature Counts)
The mission of Bird Studies Canada is to advance the understanding,
appreciation, and conservation of wild birds and their habitats, in
Canada and elsewhere, through studies that engage the skills,
enthusiasm, and support of its members, volunteers, and the interested
public. Bird Studies Canada is a not-for-profit organization built on
the enthusiastic contributions of thousands of volunteer Citizen
Scientists. Data from Bird Studies Canadas volunteer surveys and
targeted research projects are used to identify significant population
changes and help direct conservation planning. Nature Counts is a
website dedicated to disseminating data from the AKN partners with a
specific focus on Canada.
The mission of the Avian Science Center is to promote ecological awareness and informed decision making through the collection, synthesis and dissemination of science-based information on western birds.
