Birds capture the human spirit\, our imagination and our passion in a way that few other organisms do. They also serve as t he most accessible and sensitive indicator of ecosystem health and climate change. Never before have we had as great an opportunity to bring togethe r people from around the world to monitor and understand our natural world &ndash\; simply by watching birds. Already\, nearly 1 million people have taken part in reporting observations to \;eBird\, managed by the Corn ell Lab of Ornithology. Using advanced techniques at the interface of comp uter science and statistics\, there are now unprecedented insights into th e distribution\, abundance and population trends of birds on global and lo cal scales. This data has the power to greatly inform conservation &ndash\ ; we&rsquo\;ll look at how they&rsquo\;re being used to help birds around the world.
