Understanding ecology

Bird surveys

Citizen scientists play a vital role in conducting bird surveys at Perry Lakes, providing essential data that helps us understand the relationship between environmental factors such as water levels, water quality, and the surrounding fauna. By documenting bird populations and behaviors, they offer valuable insights into how species are responding to changes in their habitats, serving as key indicators of the overall environmental balance.


The data gathered through these surveys enables us to identify trends and shifts in bird populations linked to fluctuating water levels, water quality, or other ecological changes at Perry Lakes. This information is crucial for assessing the impact of environmental factors and guiding informed conservation decisions, ensuring the preservation of the wetland ecosystem for future generations.
