Greg Cantrell is doing a New Jersey Big Year, hoping for 300 species, and raising funds for the New Jersey Audubon Citizen Science program. And who’s planning one for 2014? It’s a pretty darn cool idea. You can see what she is up to at Laura’s Conservation Big Year 2013. And that’s all that I have found so far.

This raises the question of whether or not drones can cause serious harm to birds. In 2014, the National Park Service banned drone use in all 58 national parks in order to protect wildlife and precious ecological landmarks. So far, there aren’t any reports of bird deaths caused by drones.

The last year that we had success was in 2014 and it was an incredible three Pied Oystercatcher chicks fledged by some older Pied Oystercatchers and they have been our most successful parents to date.
