Birds, Science, and Community


Welcome to the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory!


Birds are excellent indicators of ecosystem health; they are highly visible and cost-effective to track, and are sensitive to environmental change. The San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory pays close attention to impacts on birds and their habitats and gathers crucial data specific to local bird populations. And we actively provide opportunities for people to be directly involved in the nature and science of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Join us, volunteer, and support bird conservation science in the Bay Area.

Come and Join our Board

We are looking for board members who love the Bird Observatory, its mission of science, outreach and the conservation of birds. We need people who will give it their all, come to meetings, be financially supportive and who will open doors for us. If you or someone you know could grow and blossom with Board service for an organization that really makes a difference - please contact Dave Johnston, SFBBO Board of Directors at djohnston@harveyecology.com.
