The Celebrate Urban Birds project is part of the H-F Citizen Science program. It calls on residents of all ages to help scientists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a unit of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, count birds in the community. The numbers will help investigators study how birds live and use open spaces in urban areas.

As part of the Celebrate Urban Birds project, staff at the Homewood Science Center will select a bird of the month. The wild turkey is the bird for November.
